Here's the hit in question. Wykeen Gill not expecting it at all and Jalen Green lays down a really dirty, cheap shot. #KStateFB pic.twitter.com/iNPLMeNsnT

This is an avoidable hit that is quite reckless, and Green deserved the ejection. The Longhorns need to tighten up and play more disciplined on defense to avoid hits like this. Texas is set to take on the Iowa State Cyclones this Saturday at 2:30 CT.
