Hogs lose safety for targeting

ARLINGTON, Texas — Arkansas junior safety DeAndre Coley was penalized for targeting and ejected with 6:47 to play in the second quarter of the Razorbacks’ game against Texas A&M on Saturday night.

Coley hit Aggies wide receiver Speedy Noil after an incomplete pass from Trevor Knight — with cornerback Ryan Pulley on the coverage along the sideline — on a third-and-7 play from the Texas A&M 4.

Officials ruled it not only was a late hit but also that Coley targeted Noil with a helmet-to-helmet hit. The call on the field was upheld after a review by the replay officials.

Instead of the Aggies punting from their end zone, they had a first and 10 at their 19.

Texas A&M then drove to the Arkansas 30, and Daniel LaCamera hit a 48-yard field goal to tie the game 10-10.
