Alabama LB punches Georgia player in the head, nearly gets into fight with his coach on sidelines

It's been a frustrating night for Alabama in the National Championship to say the least.  Offensively, they struggled to move the ball in the first half and actually made a quarterback change in the second half.

Defensively, they've played pretty well, but overall the game has been frustrating for a number of reasons.  If there was one instance to sum up those frustrations, it would be this one involving linebacker Mekhi Brown.

Brown took a swing at a Georgia player after the whistle and also tried to fight one of his coaches on the sidelines after taking a penalty.

It's shocking to see something like this happen on an Alabama sideline when you consider how disciplined the team has always been under Nick Saban.

That said, it is the National Championship, emotions are running high and the players aren't used to trailing in games for as long as they have against Georgia.  The Tide have stuck around, though, and are a touchdown away from evening the score in the 4th quarter.
