Having attended this game I'd like to make a comment. I had SEVERAL SCSU
fans around me ( I was severly outnumbered where I was sitting)- it was
THEM who were booing because there was no call -- NOT the UM fans boing
Leitza upon getting up. The SCSU fans believe a penalty should have been
called and were heavily booing. I can't speak for other sections - but I
can speak for where I was sitting.
After watching the replay several times now (I tape the games) it' s still
difficult to see exactly where he was hit (face,neck) - the initial slash
appeared to be the mid section.
Go Gophers!
