Written by Brent Yarina, BTN.comBTN sideline reporter J Leman said there is no update on Mauti and that he hopes to get one at halftime. It didn’t look good, though, as Mauti, who’s well-versed on knee injuries, had his head in his hands on the cart.

Hate seeing Michael Mauti carted off. One of the most impressive players I ever have met in my career. #PennState #B1G—

Why didn’t you mention the fact that the hit that took Mike Mauti out of the game was illegal or question the intent?
A husker fan wishes a speedy recover for this fine player and man who helpled keep Penn State together this year. Great play against Martinez last week to cause the fumble near the goal line.
good luck recovering from this injury and best of luck in the future.
It was amazing that Chris Martin claimed that the block was definitely a legal block since no one was engaging Mauti on top when the back went low at the knees. At what was he looking? #64 had already attacked from Mauti’s right and then the back went low.
It was as intentional as a politician’s jive talk: #20.
