The pussification of football continues

J Smith looks done. Damn it I hate to see that. He went from top 10 to end of 1st now.

ND needs all the help they can get, clearly.

Agree ... you shoulda just stopped right here.

 

[Xulu Bak]

Ejecting the biggest star on the field. UGH !

NDs best player is already done for the day too because of injury.

 

[bamabear82]

How do you not throw that away?

 

[bksballer89]

ND needs all the help they can get, clearly. This drive is only happening because they were too incompetent to review the "catch" that started it, and now they toss the best player on the field for hitting a guy square in the middle of the chest.

He led with the crown of his helmet. Are you fucking dumb? Read the rule you dumb fuck.

Don't lead with the crown of your helmet. That is a penalty in every game

 

[Texas Jefe]

That is a clear penalty if you read the rule. They just need to take out the ejection part. Don't lead with the crown of your helmet

If you spear, or some such, it should just be a 15 yard penalty. Agree the ejection part is just bad.

If these guys are smart enough to attend an institute of higher education, they should be able to figure out what will get them booted from the game.

Big loss for osu.

 

[purguy12]

This game just lost the 2 best players in this game. Kind of sucks. They really need to change that rule.

 

[Smart]

ITT, a bunch of people who haven't watched college football this year. That targeting couldn't have been more clear based on rules and precedent.

Who the hell cares about his damn draft status?

We need him in this game and it ain't happening now. That's the real news and what matters.

Obvious.

 

[TheDayMan]

I really hate the ejection rule. It is a penalty but no need to eject these guys. I hope they change that in the offseason

Agreed, they won't change it though...

Exactly. It is a clear penalty. I don't see the need for a debate regarding the penalty.

U need to read the rules. it was the right call. I agree it sucks and they need to change the ejection part. I hate to see a good player like that go out. I was excited this week to watch J. Smith and Bosa. now both are gone.

 

[Groo]

Took a lot away from the game Especially for us couch scouts

Well, he does. You weren't winning this game with him anyways. He just lost millions you selfish ahole.

I don't need to read the rule book. I know it's in there, but guys do that all the time and it damn near never gets called.

 

[purguy12]

Targerting his chest lol

Yes you can't spear like that. That is the rule. It was 100% a penalty. I hate the ejection part of it.
