Washington’s Jaylen Johnson ejected for targeting with big sack on Herbert

Washington Huskies defensive lineman Jaylen Johnson was ejected for targeting following a big sack on Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert on Saturday.

The Huskies got pressure on Herbert on a third down play midway through the fourth quarter. Herbert turned around to avoid a sack from one direction and was met by Johnson, who drilled him.

The penalty gave Oregon a first down, but the Ducks ended up punting on the possession to maintain a 24-all tie.

Johnson will have to sit out the first half of Washington’s next game as punishment for his targeting penalty.
