Paul Chryst backs physical play of both ejected defenders

Madison — Although he saw linebacker Leon Jacobs and cornerback Derrick Tindal ejected against Troy after being penalized for targeting, Wisconsin coach Paul Chryst believes that the players intended hits were physical but clean.

"There is no question in my mind that both Leon and Derrick were trying to play the game right way," Chryst said Monday during his weekly news conference. "That is what you appreciate. Guys weren't trying to take a shot."

Chryst discussed the calls with Bill Carollo, the director of officiating for the Big Ten Conference.
