Does nebraska vs purdue this year?

Once again the Iowa players can't overcome piss-poor coaching.

Wisconsin just goes back to game manager QB mode. I think they can still handle Nebraska and Purdue with relative ease. Michigan is a different story.

IDK, I'd call Wisconsin Iowa without an elite QB and Purdue just took out Iowa. That game will be slightly scary without him. Who knows about Nebraska -- other than they're looking for just that opportunity.

Wisconsin still has an elite defense and OL. And who knows, maybe the 3rd stringer will be decent.

I'd call Michigan Texas just in a different conference.

Texas has two losing seasons since 2015 and only 1 season above 8 wins. Seems harsh.

Targeting

The targeting rule continues to be one of the dumbest, most inconsistently called, rule in the history of CFB. I think unless it's egregious, it should just be a 15 yard personal foul and be done with this ejection shit.

Doesn't matter according to the rule. He lead with his shoulder....into the guy's head.

He hit him in the chest not head

The refs did and now he misses the first half of the Whisky game.

I think the thing that led to his ejection was the "launching".

He also left his feet (launched) another aspect that should have been flagged. Whether you want to say he hit his chest or not, there were multiple flaggable aspect of the tackle.

Worthy of an ejection?

You can't launch. It's a pretty definitive rule. He left both feet.

Sucks, but it is what it is. Targeting fucked us last season.

Targeting isn't going away, but maybe a varying punishment aspect could be put in
