Does Penn State kicker Joey Julius deserve to be hit like that?

That’s the topic of “Angry Bender” this week. Julius, Penn State’s 271-pound kicker, has taken cheap shots in consecutive weeks from Minnesota’s Jaylen Waters and Maryland’s Isaiah Davis, who each targeted Julius with hits on kickoff. Both players were ejected.

Did Julius bring this on himself for previous hits against Kent State and Michigan? Or is this a dangerous play that could get Julius hurt? Should Waters and Davis face more punishment or should Julius know his place as a kicker?
