[Husker] RE: Big XII Suspends Eric Martin for Mizzou Game (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Mark Landin]

The announcer may have thought it was NOT a legal hit. I certainly thought
so after seeing it happen. Is it "PC" to object to hits that appear to be
malicious and/or illegal?

It looks like Martin's hit may have actually been legal, but if it had not
.. if he had in fact made intentional helmet-to-helmet contact, should he
have been flagged? Should he have been suspended?
