Dallas Turner rips Jaxson Dart’s helmet off with a violent facemask tackle

Dallas Turner was flagged for a violent facemask of Jaxson Dart midway through the third quarter of an Ole Miss drive with the game tied at 17.
Turner, the Alabama pass rusher, appeared to inadvertently see his hand slide into the facemask off of Dart’s shoulder pad and he ripped the helmet around and dragged Dart to the turf. Turner immediately regretted the incident as he put both hands on his helmet as the flags hit the turf on the play.
Ole Miss got a first down on the play, which came on a third down and 18 play, and the Rebels scored 5 plays later to cap an 11-play, 75-yard drive to take a lead. Jonathan Mingo scored from 3 yards out with 7:28 remaining in the third quarter.
It was the third penalty of the game for Alabama, and the Tide had 35 yards whistled against them.
