Minnesota Player’s Cheap Shot On Penn State’s Hefty Kicker Almost Sparks Brawl

Joey Julius usually is the one knocking opposing players down with brutal hits, but the roles were reversed Saturday in an ugly incident between Penn State and Minnesota.

Julius, a 258-pound kicker — yes, you read that right — for the Nittany Lions, was leveled by Gophers freshman linebacker Jaylen Waters on a cheap shot during Penn State’s 29-26 win.

Waters was ejected for the hit, which was so dirty that both sidelines emptied.

It doesn’t get worse than that, no matter how big the kicker is.
