Nebraska defensive lineman Ty Robinson ejected for targeting, to miss first half vs. Colorado

The Nebraska defense has been playing a good game thus far against Minnesota. Not much has been working for PJ Fleck‘s team and the score shows. To this point, the Golden Gophers only have three points attached to their name.

However, one play caused everything to go sour. Minnesota quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis was dropping back to pass in the third quarter before throwing a strike across the middle. As the FOX camera panned away, you saw Kaliakmanis take a shot.

Turns out, Nebraska defensive lineman Ty Robinson was flagged for targeting, making head-to-head contact with the quarterback. Despite the officials taking the play to replay, there was never much debate. Robinson was ejected from the game after a quick review.

And since the penalty occurred in the second half on Thursday, Robinson will miss the first half of Nebraska’s next game. The Cornhuskers will be traveling to Boulder to renew a bitter rivalry against Colorado. For two quarters next Saturday, head coach Matt Rhule will have to deal without one of his best defensive linemen.
