Landon Dickerson asked if his dead fall to draw a penalty against LSU was rehearsed

Alabama offensive lineman Landon Dickerson has a dry sense of humor, and another example of that came when he was asked about his dead fall against LSU after a play on Saturday night.

“I wouldn’t say that it’s practiced,” Dickerson told reporters this week. “It’s late contact after the play, usually that can draw a penalty, but I think the refs may have saw it a little differently. It may go to review and stuff with the referees this week.”

After the game, he had a humorous response to being called out. Early Sunday morning, Dickerson tweeted to assure everyone he will be all right.

Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers. @Ria_Martin After consulting @makennahsdad and @drlylecain they believe I will make a full recovery. 🙏🏻 https://t.co/yZzF5qwH4e

The fifth-year senior has been a stalwart on one of the best offensive lines in college football. Dickerson is in his second year as the Crimson Tide’s starting center, and has averaged an overall blocking grade of 90.8 by the Alabama coaching staff and 99.5 on assignments.
