Suspension upcoming?

[Enhance]

Can somebody help me out and tell me where/when this play happened? I don't remember it.

Third quarter when we scored. Rex was laying in the end zone and the guy was trying to drag him back out of it via his face mask.

Thanks.

I'll have to look at it when the b1ackout is lifted tonight/tomorrow on ESPN3.

it was ridiculous, Bo owes Legate an apology.

ya that was pretty flagrant indeed, twisting his head back. surprised not a ref saw it. can't blame Legate coming to help one of his teammates.

The play was over - it wasn't like it happened by accident just for a second or two in the heat of a pig pile. He was trying to injure him.

PS - sorry about the truly crappy avatar - it went up automatically when I signed up. Change it later.

They'll probably try to suspend Burkhead for obviously trying to spear A.J Klein in the endzone. Uncalled for. :sarcasm

that play pissed me off. I would have done the same thing. Pelini might have to apologize for yelling at Legate, heh.

i got a sick feeling in my stomach when i watched this... similar to the one i got while watching the clint malarchuk injusry or 2 guys one horse. An inch or two further and that d******d could have killed or paralyed rex. Head up by legate to not only push rex's head back down but then to push that prick off of him. Rex thanked him on the sideline after, but god, that could have been awful.

I hope (assume) that Pelini makes it right with Legate once he sees the film.

But we are the ones in the College Football world that people consider "dirty"

So does #47 for ISU get suspended for the cheap and flagrant attempt to rip of Rex Burkhead's head off?

I doubt it.

Tyler Legate may at least get reprimanded tho :bang He is my new hero however.

Man Bo was pissed at him for that. I couldnt believe ho pissed he was.

No. The league will review it and suspend Eric Martin.

If Eric Martin's out, then who will play quarterback?

I wish the author of the little blurb would've wrote the Tyler Legate was penalized when he shoved the player off Rex Birkhead and prevented a life threatening injury.

Someone seriously needs to email that to Bo first and copy in Dan Beebe. I say, 2 games suspension at a minimum.

We should give Washington a shot see his gun !!!!!

I agree with most on the board. This did seem as if it had "intent" to injure. Will he be suspended? I kind of have my doubts that the "commish" will do much. Probably just say that his had was stuck in Rex's facemask or something
