Skalski’s ejection had many on social media furious with college football’s targeting rule and how the linebacker was thrown out of the biggest game of his career.

Skalski played 14 games during the 2019 season. He recorded 85 combined tackles and 2 1/2 sacks. Losing Skalski is a huge blow for Clemson and gives LSU a bit of an advantage on offense.

LSU scored on the next play to increase their lead to 10 points, 35-25. The touchdown pass gave Burrow the record for most touchdown passes in a single season.
