Michigan linebacker Jaishawn Barham was ejected from last week's win over New Mexico after he was called for targeting when he hit Lobos quarterback Jack Layne in the head while trying to pick up a sack. That penalty will also result in Barham having to sit out the first half of this week's showdown with Oklahoma.
The targeting penalty has long been hated by college football players, coaches, media members and fans. The uproar over it continued this week with Fox Sports' lead analyst Joel Klatt calling the NCAA rules committee "spineless" for not making any changes to it.
