Sept. 9, 2023; Columbus, Oh., USA; (l-r) Ohio State Buckeyes offensive lineman Matthew Jones (55), Ohio State Buckeyes safety Brenten Jones (32), Ohio State Buckeyes cornerback Denzel Burke (10) and Ohio State Buckeyes wide receiver Emeka Egbuka (2) take the field before Saturday's NCAA Division I football game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Youngstown State Penguins at Ohio Stadium.

Ohio State had to wait all day to play their game against Western Michigan Saturday night, and it didn’t take long for the Buckeyes to get rolling. Quarterback Will Howard and the offense went down the field and scored, and the defense was flying all over and making plays. 

One of the defensive leaders, cornerback Denzel Burke, decided to return to college this season instead of heading to the NFL, and on Saturday, his night ended early after a horrible call.

Late in the first quarter, Ohio State safety Caleb Downs and Buke were making a tackle on a Western Michigan player, and Buke lowered his helmet a little, not using the crown, and the officials called targeting, ejecting him from the game.

It was a horrible call, and luckily for Bukre, it happened in the first half, so he won’t be suspended for the first half of the next game in two weeks against Marshall.

Buckeye fans were unhappy with the call on their star corner and took to social media to give their reactions.
