The Wiz of Odds

Boise State Cheap Shot

The Western Athletic Conference has suspended Boise State's Winston Venable because of this helmet-to-helmet hit on Oregon State's James Rodgers in Saturday night's game at Boise. Venable will sit out the first half of the Broncos' game at New Mexico State. He was originally suspended for a full game, but Boise appealed and got the penalty reduced.

This is a tough one, but the Wiz decided to include this hit among the cheapies after the WAC took action. It certainly could be argued that Rodgers was blocked into Venable, who was trying to make a play on the ball. But the WAC deemed Venable's play was flagrant and assessed the suspension. Before the collision, Venable does put his head down and drives it into Rodgers' helmet.

Thanks to Ryan and Geoff.

Eastern Michigan Cheap Shot

The play in question comes at the 29-second mark. An unidentified Eastern Michigan player goes low in an attempt to take out the knees of Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor during Saturday's game in Columbus. Thanks to Stephen.

Nevada Cheap Shot

Brigham Young defensive tackle Romney Fuga's season is over after Nevada offensive guard John Bender cuts Fuga from behind and takes out his left knee during Saturday's game in Provo.

Fuga suffered a tear of an anterior cruciate ligament and lateral collateral ligament and is scheduled for surgery.

Thanks to Tyler.

Arkansas Cheap Shot

Alabama fans are in an uproar over this play in Saturday's game at Fayetteville. Watch Razorback offensive guard Wade Grayson go low in an attempt to block Crimson Tide defensive lineman Marcell Dareus. No penalty was called. Thanks to the Purple People Eater.

Georgia Cheap Shot

Georgia center Ben Jones chops Mississippi State defensive tackle Fletcher Cox while the players were casually following a play in the closing minutes of Saturday's game at Starkville. Although you can't fully see the act on the video, Georgia's Mark Richt and Mississippi State's Dan Mullen are clearly upset, with Richt — to his credit — ripping into Jones as the player returned to the sideline.

Readers Rob and Robbie both sent us messages after having watched it while in attendance at Davis Wade Stadium at Scott Field. Robbie writes that Jones not only should have ejected, but "suspended for at least 2 more it was so nasty."
