A rash decision may rob Michigan wide receiver Greg Mathews of a start against Notre Dame.
The sophomore appeared to kick Oregon safety Matthew Harris in the groin after Harris tackled Mathews in the fourth quarter.
Mathews had just caught a 5-yard pass, his lone reception of the game. A brief tussle ensued, but Michigan captain Jake Long quickly stepped in to keep the scuffle from escalating.
"Certainly it's nothing we're proud of," Michigan coach Lloyd Carr said. "Greg is not proud of it. We don't want it, and we won't tolerate it."

We've all been there and it's tough not to react like that when you are getting your butt kicked, outcoached, outclassed, etc AT HOME no less. I am sure that Oregon DB was talking smack and being obnoxious...but it's inexcusable.
I would think a 1 game suspension is warranted for Greg. Similar to what Rob Reynolds had post Sorgi-gate-choke. I am sure he is a good kid who just lost his head...
