The hit against Harrison was initially called as targeting, but was later overturned by the officiating crew, something Day vehemently disagreed with.
“I made a lot of calls after the game,” Day said. “I felt like it was targeting. In the moment, when things are moving very fast and you can’t see the replay, it’s very hard to see. The hard thing for me is to see and understand that and have our medical staff let us know that he was knocked unconscious and that’s why we’re not going to let him back in the game, yet the flag gets picked up for targeting.”
After the game, Harrison called Bullard’s hit “just a football hit” in a “physical game.”
“I’m OK,” Harrison said after the Peach Bowl loss.
Harrison finished the Peach Bowl with five catches for 106 yards and two touchdowns.
