If Texas A&M defensive lineman Shemar Turner doesn’t have a future in football, he may well have one in professional wrestling.
Turner, a junior, was ejected from Saturday’s game against Ole Miss after delivering a brutal uppercut to the groin of Rebels offensive lineman Micah Pettus.

The incident occurred in the third quarter with the Aggies trailing 28-14.
Both A&M and Ole Miss have fired shots at one another leading up to the contest.

"To be able to do that, especially when you are going up against a program you would think would be the team in the top 10 with their roster."

“These guys are absolutely loaded, it’s kind of a mind-blowing collection of talent,” Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin said of A&M. It really is like an NFL roster. Height, weight, speed, explosiveness. Receivers that can score at anytime, great running backs. Defense is playing as well as any in the country. The collection of defensive line has to be one of the best ever.”
The insinuation, of course, is that the Aggies should be better than their current 5-3 record.
So you could understand why Turner and company might be a little angry. But still, throwing a low blow on a football field, or any field for that matter, is probably not the best idea.
