What did Taylor Lewan do?

I'd like to know the same...the EspnU coverage was HORRIBLE

He ordered the 'tach to attack!

Sure couldn't tell on TV.  Best guess is Lewan saw someone hit someone and retaliated, because Lewan's body language was angry and fired-up, not sheepish.  He looked pissed off about something still.

Not sure, but I'm surprised he wouldn't pull out his mustache tatoo in a moment like that. That would have made everyone calm down.

while i hate that he did what he did, it was nice to see the rest of the team (including RR) take control of the situation and yell at him about it. koger was giving him a mouthful, as apposed to most teams, where other players might escalate the incedent.

trying to break one of their legs....

The coverage was terrible so I guess the only people who might know are the ones at the game.  

I hope it is nothing that can be reviewed by the NCAA.

Lewan is an aggressive young player and wants to take anyones head off that HE sees do wrong by him. He had many penalties as a HS player and has had many head ons with his own team mates. This may be what has and will continue to keep him off the field. Keeping that aggression in check is what it sounds like he needs to learn and channel at this point. That will come in time and in coaching, both on and off the field. The sky is the limit for this kid though.....

I know Lewan took two Indiana defenders out on that TD run. I'm sure he was letting them know about it.

He got thrown into Robinson's legs at the end of the play before the long pass to Hemingway.  It was late and on the sideline.  Pretty sure he was getting some payback.  

I am certain I saw a "stomping" motion made as the player stepped over Lewan. I think the MGoVideoGurus will find indisputable video evidence that the player stomped on Lewan's calf.

Result:

Coachable moment for the staff

Opportunity for senior leadership

Lewan does not have his agressive edge dampened by the coaches. He might not have a pleasant week of practice, but it will take more than a coach or two to dampen his enthusiasm.

Now, if I am right, it will be interesting to see the coverage.

I can think of more frustrating games that ended much differently.

he pancaked a guy at the goal line just as denard crossed it.  lewan was laying on the guy.  then espn cut away.

i'm guessing the dguy was fed up and starting kicking to get lewan off of him.  then retaliation probably started and so on.

but @ the OP this the most important part of your post.

"However- we got a Big ten win on the road"  This was a great win.  On the road against for SOME a lightly regarded opponent, on their home field for a revenge game, with what has amounted to their best offensive team.  I'll celegrate the W and hope like hell the coaches can coach these young'uns up.

I think he reminded the D-linemen that they'd be featured on MGoBlog this week as donkeys....

I loved it.  We need 5 more like him.  This is football and it has to be played with passion and fire.  His teammates got in there and RR got in there and handled it.  I'm not saying we should fight on the field, but I do love his tenacity.

Aftr the spring game it was obvious it was jut a matter of time, he is an absolute beast out there. I said he would take a few PF's but the upside is just to great and he will start until he goes to the next level. To have Hugye free as backup makes us much better as he can play 4 positions. They will reign Lewan in we have lots of leadership on the o-line.

After the sideline incident, it looked like Lewan was coming back to talk with Denard before each play the rest of the drive, I'm guessing saying something like, "I'm about to fuck this dude up in front of me so be prepared to take advantage."

The penalty was obviously Animal Cruelty: Illegal Donkey Abuse

pushed us back 15 yards on the kickoff and I was expecting them to pooch kick it which would have given IU good field position for the hail Mary. Instead, they kicked it deep and trusted the cover team.
