Oregon wide receiver Traeshon Holden was ejected from his team’s game against the Ohio State Buckeyes at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon, on Saturday night for spitting on an opponent.

Oregon had the ball down 14-12 early in the second quarter against Ohio State. The Ducks had a first-and-goal from the Buckeyes’ 10 and ran the ball for a yard. Ohio State cornerback Davison Igbinosun shoved Holden out of the field of play around the goal line. Holden didn’t like it and turned and spat at Igbinosun. Igbinosun was surprised over what had happened and raised his arms in the air.

Holden was called for a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and was ejected. The penalty also moved Oregon back 15 yards, and they settled for a field goal on the possession.

Holden was still upset and could be seen throwing some equipment after his ejection.
