\"VIDEO:Derek Meadows down on the field. (Photo via ESPN)<\/em>Alabama wide receiver was knocked out cold while playing Missouri on Saturday, taking a hefty hit that left him unconscious after going up to catch a pass.The Crimson Tide went into the game with a 4-1 record against the 5-0 Tigers and will hope to deal them their first loss of the season.<\/p>\n

But an ugly incident in the first quarter threatened to sour things after Meadows caught a throw from his quarterback but was forced to drop it after a crunching hit from Missouri safety Marvin Burks Jr.<\/p>\n

He lay motionless on the field after the tackle, which the refs decided was a targeting offense, meaning an ejection for the DB.<\/p>\n

Fans Sympathize With Both Derek Meadows And Marvin Burks Jr.<\/h2>\n

Fans were unanimous in their claims that the hit, while hard, was clean and that Burks did not deserve to be ejected.<\/p>\n

\u201cAwful hit but the DB gets the fault for a situation the QB put his receiver in. Shoulder to chest. Don\u2019t know where else the helmet is supposed to go when hitting someone out of the air,\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0one wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cHorrific call. DB has to stop running and let the WR run it into the end zone next time I guess,\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0said a second.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a good hit. If you don\u2019t like it then maybe your qb shouldn\u2019t set you up like that or you should go play flag football,\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0offered a third.<\/p>\n

\u201cHard hit, don\u2019t get me wrong, but the targeting rule has no rules anymore. That is shoulder to chest, no launching, no crown of helmet,\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0another comment read.<\/p>\n
