A reign of boos descended onto the turf of Camp Randall Stadium late in the third quarter when Derrick Tindal was escorted off the field during Wisconsin’s 28-3 win over Troy Saturday afternoon.
Tindal had just been ejected for a targeting penalty and was the second member of the Wisconsin defense to suffer the same fate. Linebacker Leon Jacobs was removed from the game in the first quarter for targeting Troy quarterback Brandon Silvers.
Both calls were questionable. Replays showed that Jacobs made contact with Silvers’ chest. Tindall, going at full speed, made contact with a receiver’s neck-area although the receiver lowered his head.
