That dude should be gone. Intent doesn't matter. He launched and hit him in the head. Could have broken his neck.

 

[Huskerwisdom]

didn't seem to be actively trying to do it, but definite helmet to helmet there

 

[RedMyMind]

You ever go to a circus and see one of those acts where the clowns keep emerging from the little car?

so nebraska is in that car? mystery solved

 

[8675309husker]

Bye!!

 

[Courthaspenisnose]

Why does he still have one now??? What is the point of keeping him?

You run a substandard program now

 

[RChrisReade]

Targeting!!??? C’mon refs, it’s football!

The neck snapped. Head to head. I don't necessarily like the rule but that is squarely within what is prohibited under the rule.

 

[Kato]

Bad call.

 

[MOHUSKER]

That is exactly targeting there, not looking, good call

 

[WoodRiverJennings]

Yay!

 

[jlb321_rivals110621]

Catch the F-ing ball

 

[RedSea_rivals91325]

Wow, I'm way too liberal on "targeting" calls I guess. Lame rule.

 

[Harry Caray]

What's Santino Panico up to these days? He couldn't be any worse at coaching special teams than our current ST coach.

 

[8675309husker]

You run a substandard program now

our program is getting better.

 

[MOHUSKER]

Stanley making something out of nothing

 

[WoodRiverJennings]

Good job by Morgan to get something positive out of that

 

[Suhrreal]

That is a sad rule you can tell the DB wanted to pull back on the hit.

 

[WoodRiverJennings]

Martinez looks a bit scared out there

 

[Kato]

Agree on the helmet thing, not the ejection.

 

[kwicasso_rivals334262]

OSU going to pull away now.

 

[dinglefritz]

Martinez is shook. Should have pulled it and ran.

he's a vegan

 

[RedSea_rivals91325]

We're sure good on first drives.

 

[barney44]

Our offense has to produce or this one is getting out of hand..

Vegan diet advocate!

 

[Dadmaster]

play calling seems a bit atrocious.....this is not a great defense and the play calling is making them look fabulous!

Go Home Nebraska, You're Drunk

 

[Courthaspenisnose]

Yeah, than Rutgers

 

[dinglefritz]

That is a sad rule you can tell the DB wanted to pull back on the hit.

What the heck did you watch? That was an obvious call if ever there was one. The replay guys took about 3 seconds to confirm it and toss the guy.

 

[MOHUSKER]

He put his head down, you have to see what you hit. I have no problem with trying to take head/neck injuries out of the game. Knowing 3 local 10-11 year olds who ended up in the ER making similar plays I am all for it.

 

[brnred58]

Way too many mistakes to win this game.

 

[NikkiSixx_rivals269993]

This is where I want to see Martinez start to meet the challenges in front of him.. blowing it on the last series with a turnover, and not stepping up and making things happen this last series. It was like he was playing scared on that QB run. That needs to stop.

 

[Suhrreal]

What the heck did you watch? That was an obvious call if ever there was one. The replay guys took about 3 seconds to confirm it and toss the guy.

I said it's a sad rule not a sad call. Call was called correctly as it pertains to the rule. The rule itself is a joke.

 

[RedMyMind]

Go Home Nebraska, You're Drunk

have you stopped beating your wife?

 

[SkerInCo]

Bad call.

The bad call was your dad not wearing a condom.

 

[dinglefritz]

he's a vegan

Last I heard he was a cage fighter.

 

[8675309husker]

That was not targetting

 

[schuele]

The thing I hate about the targeting rule is how over-the-top the penalty is compared to other personal fouls. Some POS can dive at the back of a guy's knees who's not even involved in the play, and he might get 15 yards. But a DB gets ejected for that? The rule is what it is, but it doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

 

[kwicasso_rivals334262]

There's a targetong. Bootle gone too.

 

[Huskerwisdom]

are the OSU fans that F'ing stupid. the receivers head didn't even move

 

[dinglefritz]

Bootle's gone.
