[Husker] Suh suspended for 2 games

[Jerry Meyer]

Remember hearing a story about Bob Brown reversing the screws in his facemask so they were exposed on the outside during preseason practice as he was tired of getting head slapped like that.  Ouch to the guy who was the first to find out the screws were out.  Don't know if that's a true story or not, but wouldn't surprise me.

He even wrote a book about it.

To be fair, though, many of the techniques Dobler used back then,
like the head slap, where you pop the helmet at the ear hole with
the flat part of your hand, are now prohibited by the rules.

Today's players are so much bigger, faster and stronger that some
of those 60's and 70's techniques would result in crippling injuries,
and we see far too many of those already.

A few years back there was a player who actually ripped the face
mask off a helmet when his fingers got stuck in it.  (I guess the 
screws were loose.)
