College football is back, along with all the good, bad and ugly that comes along with it.
In the ugly category, look no further than Saturday evening’s tilt between San Diego State and Ohio, where Aztecs quarterback Jalen Mayden was flushed out the pocket and in deep trouble as a swarm of Bobcats closed in on him.
In a last ditch effort to avoid a sack, Mayden tried to throw the ball away, and in the process, plunked an official who was no more than three yards away from him at the time. The errant throw hit the official square in the side of the face.
