In light of Derrick Tindal’s and Leon Jacobs’ ejections from the Wisconsin football team’s Sept. 19 win over Troy, head coach Paul Chryst said Monday, Sept. 21, at his weekly news conference he received a sufficient explanation.
Chryst said he and Big Ten Coordinator of Officials Bill Carollo had a productive conversation and they both take player safety seriously.
In regards to Jacobs’ hit, which knocked the helmet off of Troy quarterback Brandon Silvers, the league said he led too much with his helmet.
Chryst remained adamant that both Tinal and Jacobs meant no ill will.
