No, I think 94 gets injured, 56 gets the thumb.

His teammate (56) got tossed immediately...one other teammate got a 15 yard penalty the play after, and then the guy who got cut blocked (#94...the cheapshotee, if you will) was tossed in the third quarter for going after the cheapshoter and trying to get even. The dicklips who did the whole thing didn't miss a play.

BC's Kiwanuka to miss Wake Forest game

Associated Press
Posted: 13 hours ago

BOSTON (AP) - Boston College lineman Mathias Kiwanuka is "highly unlikely" to play against Wake Forest because of a right knee injury that may have happened when he was hit after the whistle against Virginia.

Kiwanuka said Wednesday he has a sprained or slightly torn medial collateral ligament in his right leg. He already had a sore ankle. No. 14 Boston College (5-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) has a bye week after Saturday's game, then plays on Thursday, Oct. 27, against third-ranked Virginia Tech.

"I'm confident that I'll be back by Virginia Tech," said Kiwanuka, projected to be a possible first-round NFL draft pick. "I'm definitely going to push to be on the field. But there's no fighting with the head man. ... He obviously has the last say. I trust his judgment."

Coach Tom O'Brien said Kiwanuka was "very doubtful" and Jake Ottolini will take his place.

"Whenever (Kiwanuka) feels good, he's going to play," O'Brien said.

The Cavaliers suspended offensive lineman Brad Butler for one game this week for the chop-block that caught Kiwanuka in the back of the leg several seconds after the whistle in BC's 28-17 victory last week. Butler issued a statement saying he was not trying to hurt Kiwanuka.

"I was engaged in blocking him because he is the type of player who makes plays all over the field," the Virginia offensive lineman said. "I regret this event occurred and have put the incident behind me."

Kiwanuka had an MRI on Tuesday, and when they determined that the injury was likely a sprain he was cleared to begin rehab. He did not know if the injury was from the chop-block, but he said, "After the hit, it hurt a little more."

"I was shocked at how blatant it was," Kiwanuka said. "I had done nothing to him. ... I don't buy that he got overexcited."

Kiwanuka had heard that Butler tried to get in touch with him to apologize, but the two have not spoken. The BC star, who was the Big East defensive player of the year last year, said the one-game suspension did not satisfy him.

"There's nothing that could have satisfied me," he said. "Any apology would just be for media purposes. I will listen to the apology, but I'm not going to go out of my way to get in touch with him."

Eagles offensive lineman Jeremy Trueblood was also upset that Butler could miss the same amount of time as Kiwanuka.

"It's not fair at all," he said. "If you're not going to play by the rules, I don't think you should play."

The game was tied 7-all early in the third quarter when Butler chop-blocked Kiwanuka. BC lineman Al Washington retaliated and was ejected; BC linebacker Brian Toal hit Butler one play later and drew a personal foul.

Kiwanuka was ejected later in the third quarter for trying to exact his revenge.

Toal's penalty put the Cavaliers on the BC 23 and Deyon Williams caught a 23-yard touchdown pass on the next play to make it 14-7. But the Eagles scored touchdowns on three of their next four possessions to take a 28-17 lead.

"On the sidelines, we were all going crazy. But we were trying to keep our composure at the same time," linebacker Ray Henderson said. "We're a family. It's just like if someone went after your little brother or little sister."

Also Wednesday, BC placekicker Ryan Ohliger was pulled off of the field goal squad after missing three tries against Virginia. O'Brien told walk-on Will Troost that he will do the placekicking; Ohliger, who was 6-for-11 on field goals and just 3-for-8 from 30 yards or longer, will continue to kick off.

"He was pretty positive about it," Troost said. "He obviously wants to play. He's just trying to get back to where he was."

There are always going to be idiots like this guy out there, no matter how much we'd like to not see this kind of crap. I do not agree with the 1 game suspension. I would think he should get at the least 3 games. (Season suspension is more in line)

I do not fault the ref's. They just flat out didn't see it. All they saw was 56 pouncing on the guys. (btw he knocked the hell out of the DE((his own)) I'm not sure if that was grounds for ejection from some of the stuff I've seen so far this year that the ref's are letting go on.

And I've said it before about the ACC, that conference amazes me.

i dont know if you watched the tape scarlet posted or not, but i watched it a few times and a ref did see the whole thing as it happened. he was right by the play and ran up immediatly after it happened. place a little blame their way.

yea but you cant tell what he is looking at directly. this is one instance where i would liked to see instant replay used to carry out punishment.

Replay cannot be used by the refs for personal fouls. But they can be use by the coaches to determine intent. That was a blatant attempt to remove Kiwanuka from the game. He should receive more than one game.

And why is it that only Virginia is suspending him? Why doesn't the NCAA get involved?

Take a couple of bucks from a booster, get the hell off the field you are ruining the game of college football. You want to ski professionally, Hell NO. Assault a player on the field with malicious intent, will let UVA suspend him for one game, that about does it.

What's even more ridiculous is that Groh isn't saying more about it, and was a little B**** about it saying that he did not see the play during the game, etc.
