Michigan player takes pump-up victory lap of Big House after questionable targeting ejection

Michigan linebacker Joe Bolden was hit with a suspect targeting penalty when it appeared he was pushed and fell on top of Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook, resulting in a helmet-to-helmet hit. It’s hard to know what the intent was, but it looks a lot like he was simply being blocked and fell without any desire to harm the opposing player.

A chorus of boos directed at the referees quickly became cheers as Bolden took his lap to the applause of raucous Ann Arbor fans.

There’s no love lost between Bolden and Michigan State. He was the player who plated a spear on the Spartans’ field last year.
