Did you agree or disagree with the targeting call against the Penn State player that got him ejected?

i didnt like it

I was rooting for MD. I was giving you the business/teasing for the hillybilly comment. I hope the Terps have a good season.

ha i can dish and take. I live 20mins from the border with WVA also a MD alum so it was extra satisfying.

I stayed up overnight and watched the replay. Big win ... explosive plays and TOs. Penn State on defense for 90+ plays is crazy but between good D and mistakes by Wisconsin ... Penn State survived in a tough place to play.

Penn State DBs were awesome. It will be interesting the rest of the season to see if that holds up or Wisconsin's passing game is not up to speed. One thing you know you are going to get from Wisconsin is good play on both sides of the line of scrimmage.

What I was most impressed about was that Penn State pulled off this upset on the road in a tough place to play at in the first game of the season after starting off so poorly last year.

I don't think he was head hunting but I do think they made the correct call. It was helmet to helmet.

I think that call could have gone either way. I also think targeting is going to be a hard call for officials to make all season because even if a tackler is leading with what he intended to be shoulder to upper body contact helmets are going to collide.

I didn't either because since I didn't have a dog in the fight I was cheering for Penn State to give our buddy sportster a happy day.

I grew up in PG County about 25 minutes from College Park. I am a big MD basketball fan. Penn State where I am originally from is my favorite football team. A lot of my friends went to Maryland, I went to the US Navy so I root for the Naval Academy too.

I don't like the ejection, if you think it is a penalty then penalize the guy. Targeting is a weird road, at the same time you are supposed to coach guys to tackle with their head up.

Tomcat it was a big win considering how they started last year and where they played. HUGE win.

Penn State at Wisconsin and Clemson/Georgia in Charlotte were the two best college football games of the weekend in my opinion.

Georgia's only problem is they get to lose to Alabama every year in the SEC championship game and therefore miss out on making the final four.

For sure. Kirby Smart was Nick Saban's best recruiter when he coached for him at Alabama. Now that Kirby is the Georgia head coach he is almost equal to Alabama in recruiting.

You're right . . . I posted the two best games too soon and before the weekend was over.

I like the college overtime format much better than the NFL overtime format.

Another good win for your Nittany Lions tonight against a good and ranked Auburn team. I watched the entire game and the atmosphere in Happy Valley is electric when all of those white pom poms are waving at the same time.

That was a big win. A white out game is impressive. My one question is why wasn't the game officiated by a neutral conference crew. Credit to Auburn too, they played well.
