Big Ten says MSU player wasn’t gouging foe’s eyes
EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The Big Ten has determined that a Michigan State player did not violate the conference’s conduct policy after Ohio State sent in film that appeared to show him trying to gouge the eyes of a Buckeyes player. In a statement, Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis said the Big Ten determined that MSU offensive lineman Jack Allen didn’t violate the conference’s sportsmanlike conduct policy. A video Ohio State sent to the Big Ten appeared to show Allen trying to get his gloved hand inside the facemask of Ohio State defensive lineman Johnathan Hankins during Saturday’s Ohio State victory in East Lansing. At the same time, Hankins was trying to get his hands inside Allen’s facemask. Hollis concluded that Allen’s actions ”weren’t a football play” but also it was not an eye-gouging incident.

MSU: Ohio St video concerns were dealt with
EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan State says concerns over incomplete game video provided by Ohio State were ”addressed immediately” when the schools’ athletic directors discussed the situation. Big Ten teams exchange video before playing each other. A Michigan State spokesman says the Spartans’ staff notified athletic director Mark Hollis about ”incomplete video” from Ohio State, but when Hollis talked to Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith about the issue, it was dealt with. The 14th-ranked Buckeyes beat the 20th-ranked Spartans 17-16 on Saturday. It was new Ohio State coach Urban Meyer’s first Big Ten game since taking over. The Detroit Free Press first reported on the controversy.
