Alabama defensive back Tony Brown was ejected from Saturday’s Iron Bowl for hitting a defenseless player on a blindside block.

Brown’s hit came against Auburn LB Tre’ Williams on a punt return for Alabama, and the penalty moved Alabama back half the distance to the goal at the 13 yard-line.

Brown is a big piece to Alabama’s defense at Nickelback, and it will be interesting to see how this affects the Crimson Tide’s defense.
