No one has brought this up, so I will. In that same game, an OSU lineman 
was flagged for hitting Martinez in the face mask with the crown of his 
helmet, but he was apparently not suspended. Why the different 
treatment? The blow was at least as intentional as Martin's. Is it 
because Martinez wasn't injured? Is it less dangerous when the blow 
comes from the front, rather than the side? Those both seem dubious, but 
I'm at a loss to understand. Thoughts?
