STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Minnesota?linebacker Jaylen Waters was ejected Saturday after an apparent feud with Penn States 258-pound kicker that culminated in an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and Joey Julius needing help off the field.Waters was disqualified by officials and forced into the locker room after lowering his shoulder on a kickoff late in the third quarter, smacking Julius at about the Minnesota 28-yard line. The kickoff wound up as a touchback.Emotions heated up on the field with players exchanging words. Penn State coach James Franklin walked onto the field and prevented the situation from escalating further.I dont have much comment, Gophers coach Tracy Claeys said about the incident. Ill take care of that. Nobody has more pride and cares about the game of football more than me. There may be some who have equal, but I care about protecting the game.Julius, who initially remained still for a minute or two, did not appear to be seriously injured after standing, and the Nittany Lions went on to win 29-26 in overtime.The call did not appear to be for targeting, as a Minnesota spokesperson said the Big Ten clarified that Waters would not miss the first half of next weekends game following his ejection.I think because Joey Julius has been such a factor in getting down and making tackles, that people are treating him differently, Franklin said. So I think thats a credit to Joey and his toughness, but I do think that play fired everybody up. Theres no doubt about it. ... Im glad Joeys OK, and Im also impressed that hes built a reputation that you better deal with our kicker or hes going to get down there and make tackles.Julius and Waters got into a shoving match earlier in the first half, as well. That play did not result in a penalty.Videos of Julius, a 5-foot-10, 258-pound redshirt sophomore, went viral twice this season for two big hits he laid on returners. He didnt make a tackle in Saturdays game against the Golden Gophers, but he slowed returner Jalen Myrick, who spun out of his attempted stop.Bob Riley Jersey Signed . This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way.
