WATCH: Penn State DT Antonio Shelton ejected for targeting on punt return
The game of the week is taking place on ABC between two Big Ten teams — No. 4 Ohio State and No. 9 Penn State.
The Nittany Lions designated the game as their White Out game, which makes sense, considering the magnitude of the contest. After a dominating first half, Penn State only led by 6 and then Ohio State started the second half off with a TD to take a 14-13 lead.
After a quick stop by the Buckeyes defense, Ohio State got the ball thanks to a punt return by WR K.J. Hill. The play ended with a bit of action, though.
Take a look:
Someone explain to me how this isn't targeting on Penn State? #GoBucks #PSUvsOSU https://t.co/5H3MU5mBUT

It took a while to be called on the field, but eventually, Penn State DT Antonio Shelton got ejected for targeting on his hit on Hill. Most of these targeting calls come on a judgment being made and fans can have a clear gripe.
This one appeared to be a little more clear-cut, despite the intent from Shelton not seeming to be too apparent.
