Ohio State wide receiver Traeshon Holden was ejected in the second quarter of Saturday’s No. 3 Ducks vs No. 2 Ohio State game for spitting on Ohio State cornerback Davison Igbinosun.
After the two were engaged near the goal line, Holden clearly spit at Igbinosun in front of an official. It was an obvious flag and automatic ejection by rule as Igbinosun wiped slobber from the visor on his facemask.
Following the penalty, Holden was distraught as he walked up the tunnel to the locker room. He threw his helmet and NBCâs cameras caught him on his knees in frustration at himself for the penalty.
Holden entered the game as one of Oregonâs top receivers. He was second on the team with 19 catches for 274 yards in the Ducksâ first five games of the season and had a 32-yard catch before his ejection on Saturday.
