Ohio State's Arvell Reese Ejected for Targeting in Win Over Nebraska

The controversial targeting call in the fourth quarter led to Reese's ejection and sparked outrage among Ohio State fans.

  • Arvell Reese, Ohio State linebacker, was ejected for targeting after a hit on Nebraska's Jahmal Banks, a decision confirmed by officials upon review.
  • The targeting penalty, which includes a 15-yard penalty, will also sideline Reese for the first half of Ohio State's next game against Penn State.
  • The decision led to a strong reaction from Ohio State fans, who threw objects onto the field in protest, prompting a sideline warning for the team.
  • Despite the setback, Ohio State secured a 21-17 victory after Jordan Hancock's interception ended Nebraska's potential game-winning drive.
  • Targeting rules in college football result in player disqualification and are meant to protect defenseless players from forcible contact to the head or neck area.
