It's a really tricky situation. I completely agree that he shouldn't have been ejected. But adding the subjectivity of determining intent could be even more of a disaster.
They need a penalty like spearing or something - when a guy openly headhunts, not that type of instant action or a hit caused by a mocement in the last second.
Damn Tulane was down 37-14 at the half and made it 40-35 with the ball before getting stopped a yard short of the first on 4th and 13 with two mins left
I love early season games because, other than Alabama, no one really knows who is any good. Preseason rankings are a joke. The Penn State D looked great. But it might be that Wisconsin just isn't very good. Or maybe both.
Bama-Miami looking like the teachers vs. students rugby game in The Meaning of Life. Bama up 17-0 with the ball in Miami territory after one of the more violent (but clean) plays you’ll ever see.
Edit: Miami’s D comes up big, but Bama hits a 51-yard FG to push the lead to 20-0.

Glad to see Penn State get the win. I was surprised they had Stout handling the place kicking duties. They have the #1 placekicker from last year's class Sander Sahaydak. Or even Jake Pinegar for that matter.
Defensive coordinator Brent Pry dialed it up, and new OC Mike Yurcich made some critical and effective adjustments in the second half. One thing is certain: Brandon Smith and Jauquin Brisker are the real deal. And Ellis Brooks was playing a great game until the questionable targeting call.
Noah Cain, who was injured on the first play of last season's disastrous start and missed the entire season, returned and showed in the second half why he is a very promising runner. I was surprised we did not see any of Devyn Ford or Keyvone Lee - both very capable runners, given that a lot of pre-season talk had speculated about an expected run-corps-by-committee.
And I believe Jahan Dotson may have struck fear in most B1G defensive backfields minds.
But most of all, given the doubts that understandably may have crept into Sea Clifford's mind given last year's debacle, I think he got his feet under him against a very good Whiskey defense. This game likely gave him a nice shot of confidence going forward.

I feel bad for their students about the location of their home stadium. (Yes, I’m a broken record)
Wait, Nap, did you play at Vajenyatek?
I spent my youth and early teen years growing up just down the road in Roanoke. My Dad would hustle my brother and me up to Blacksburg as often as we could. I also remember games between VPI and VMI played in Roanoke's Victory Stadium back in the 60's. One of my old girlfriends was a Hokie cheerleader. Great times.
Our first FBS win in 19 years. Against Army, who ran the table in the reverse direction that year. Which is what I think the Huskies will do as well.
I really can't stand the guy. He tries WAY too hard to construct a signature call every time he's on. To me, he tries to draw too much attention to himself.
How close was the OB to the campus? It's now the baseball park no one goes to, right (avg attendance, 7.9K)?
