Shortly after, Burton appears to raise his right arm and make contact with her.  She stops her run onto the field, grabs the right side of her head and she turns around to look back at Burton who continues toward the locker room.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_tw\" data-g-r=\"lazy\" data-gl-method=\"loadTwitter\" data-v-id=\"1582491287047254016\" aria-label=\"Twitter Embed\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Burton transferred to the Crimson Tide this offseason after winning a national championship with Georgia over Alabama in January.  The junior became an immediate starter, filling one starting receiver spot in each of the first six games.  Burton didn&#8217;t start against Tennessee but he had his second-highest snap total of the season with 51.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Saban was asked Wednesday on the SEC coaches teleconference about field storming in general.  He was asked if there&#8217;s anything he would change on that front.<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;It&#8217;s a difficult situation,&#8221; Saban said.  &#8220;It&#8217;s a difficult situation for the league, it&#8217;s a difficult situation for all of us that are in this situation. We certainly don&#8217;t condone any mistreatment of anybody, whether they should or shouldn&#8217;t be there. I think you&#8217;ve got to have respect for other people.
