Suspension of LSU player shows glaring hole in NCAA rules that must be fixed

In the last two weeks, two different LSU players have been ejected for targeting in controversial fashion. First, star LB Whit Weeks was ejected on the third play of the game against Florida. Then, OL DJ Chester was ejected following one of the most bizarre plays you'll see. Chester attempted to make a tackle on a return after a missed field goal against Southeastern Louisiana. The play was reviewed, and he was ultimately ejected for targeting.

To make matters worse, Chester has to miss the first half of the Ole Miss game this Saturday. In such a massive game, not having Chester available for the first 30 minutes is a tough blow for LSU.
