You seriously think that hit deserved an ejection? Wow. The ejection was pure emotion from the refs and the atmosphere that got out of hand.

Ryan day made a cheap move

I have zero issues going for the block either. But it backfired and people on here are blaming Day as being an ***. We took a shot, it failed, it's 100% on Rutgers. The cheap shot out if bounds by Rutgers made it worse. Planned , which it wasn't or unplanned the first down was created by Rutgers mismanagement.
If that's aimed at me, I completely understand the situation of the game.
No way just look at reply wasn’t even a hard hit or even that late.
You know how disgusting I find you guys, I will now root for Michigan to kick your f'ing *** again.
I literally typed the exact same message and then decided to not waste my time on that complete POS.
I don't think the late hit warranted an ejection but something must have happened, either starting the fight or maybe what he said. I think an OSU player should have been ejected too, for fighting.
This and I found this on another board on Day's talking about it after the game. It was strictly the punter's decision and Day said he plans to have a talk with him tomorrow:
+ On the interaction with Greg Schiano in the fourth quarter, Day said they came after the punt and Jesse Mirco saw that he had nobody on him to the right so he took it. He took a shot on the sideline and then things got heated. “It was just coaches defending their side.” Day told Schiano after the game that he had a lot of respect for him. Day told Mirco they’d talk about his decision on Sunday.
It was the punters decision and he got lit up and learned his lesson.
Yep, and everything seemed good with Day and Schiano after they talked at the end of the game. Keep in mind, these are college players that sometimes don't make the best decisions
Here’s a different POV. At that point of game, there is no way we are going to win. Instead of going for the block, it would have been a good time to practice blocking for a punt return. We have been pretty weak on punt and kickoff returns. We prefer to fair catch or take a knee.
The other point is why are players like Aron on the field for the punt that is somewhat meaningless. He is one of our offensive weapons. Imagine is he gets a season ending injury when the game was way beyond winning???

Schiano is fine RutgersSam it’s funny how you crawl out only when Rutgers loses… even going back to Schiano’s first term... we do not have a functional D 1 QB … we have a completely new O line… we are down to 2 TE’s … missing a top RB in Aaron Young… we also were playing the best team in conference and top 5 in the country... it’s not so much the X’s and O’s But those Jimmy’s and Joe’s.
I thought that at first but rewatch how the OL crashed in and block our “LDE” to stop him from bouncing outside. Not saying Day called it but the punter definitely audibled and OSU staff should have stopped it.
Exactly. Stop whining. Get better players or STFU
And the punter getting hammered out of bounds was the correct response.
Watch replay.......that had to be the worse attempt to block an Aussie kicker I've ever seen. Pressure came from the wrong side. It was as if RU players had never seen an Aussie kicker yet see one everyday in practice.
It clearly wasn’t a called fake punt but it what every rugby style punter is taught to do. should the punter have better awareness? yes the same could be said Cruickshanks on the clear cheap shot out of bounds. It a heat of the moment thing and crap happens. Schiano is lucky he wasn’t ejected because he continued to go after Day even after players were separated.
Disagree. He was going full speed at the punter who decided to run out of bounds as he approached him. He definitely made an attempt to turn away right before the hit. This isn’t a video game. When your running that fast you can’t just change your direction in a split second
Youngie, you probably didn't even go to OSU. Front running with your pro teams being the Patriots, Dodgers, and Warriors. Look at me, the team I follow won again! I'm a classy true sports fan. The punter was a jackass and paid the price, end of story. Sorry that ruined your otherwise perfect day little guy. Get over it and I hope Michigan blows you out like last year.
He was way out of bounds and he lower his shoulder and hit him high. There was no attempt at missing him or pulling up. It was a clear cheap shot.
It was way out of bounds and high on a guy who clearly was running out of bounds. It was a clear cheap shot.
To that I say “good”. Wish he hit the punter harder and into Day for a knee injury. Let’s see how your fan base reacts to ******** from OSU when they wax Ped state.
I would say Penn State should play more disciplined and not crash inside leaving a open lane for the punter. It not their responsibility to quit playing.
Ok. Let’s see how the denizens of crappy Valley react to things. I’ll be watching - given they are a model program for both fair play and conduct as well as rationalizing their coaching staff’s behavior.
Clueless post and your still shots are useless and not in real time. Two guys running full speed from opposite directions maybe a yard and a half apart is a split second.
The coaches could have easily taken that green light off. Oversight, most likely which is why Day apologized to Schiano. However, it ultimately falls on the coaches and even Day knew it.
Clear cheap shot? Take a look at the play again. Cruickshank slows down and turns his back to the hit. The play happened less than a yard or one step out of bounds. Personal foul from the offensive player clearly but flagrant, no way. He's an offensive player, they're not as adapt at this part of the game. You would know that, if you knew football.
Schiano running over was because Day came on to the field of play barking at his players and going aggressively towards them. OSU players on the bench also hit the field of play so he ran over to stop the scrum before it escalated.
Try watching the game with an ounce of knowledge before you post next time. Instead of your emotional narrow psu fan view.

Aaron Cruickshank leveling that OSU punter was exactly the response needed. You can’t convince anyone including OSU fans that it wasn’t a douche move. Reminded me so much of PSU and Paterno throwing that pass up in the Meadowlands. Graber should have kicked the old farts *** at midfield even back then.I don’t blame the coach…the kid is about 25-26 probably. In fact if Adam Korsak did the same people would be calling him out from OSU.Thank You Aaron.
OK.
It was a heads up play by the punter. If we expect teams to be kind and gentle as they're kicking our a**, we're in the wrong business.
Not to mention, style points matter when you're in the playoff hunt. If he can grow his lead against a conference opponent, why shouldn't he?
I’m all for teams playing to the final whistle. I have no problem 2nd-3rd string scoring late in the game. But when you are up by 40 you do not run a fake punt. Even if it wasn’t called by the sidelines. From my experience a coaching staff will set expectations and remind people what is acceptable. Green lights and certain reads are turned off. This is where you tell the punter to punt it away. The goal at this point is to get to the locker room with minimal impact on the body and start preparation for next week.
I think this is correct
Not a called fake punt, the punter reacted
Imo
anyone who thinks otherwise would be guessing, just like I am guessing
No need to take an angry stance against the punter in particular about this, we won’t find out otherwise
