Watch closely as Michigan left tackle Mark Ortmann (No. 71) sends a left uppercut to the groin of Illinois' Corey Liuget (No. 93) after the defensive tackle recovers a fumble by the Wolverines' Tate Forcier. Liuget complains to an official before hobbling back to the sideline.
Ortmann should be suspended for at least one game for this cowardly act
This is the second time the site has featured a Michigan player for a cheapie. The Wolverines' Jonas Mouton was suspended for one game after punching Notre Dame center Eric Olsen.
I am an ND fan, and have no love for Michigan.
Mouton's punch on Olsen was cheap, and a retaliation for getting embarrassed by him the year before.
However, I cannot fault Ortmann in this case, as Liuget clearly tries to walk over him and humiliate him after the play is long over. Liuget had it coming.
Still, for Rich Rod to excuse it and again claim he didn't see a punch is ludicrous. He would score a boxing match 0-0.
