EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Oregon receiver Traeshon Holden was ejected from Saturday night's game against Ohio State for unsportsmanlike conduct after he spit on a Buckeyes player, the second spitting incident of the day in college football and third of the season.
The third-ranked Ducks were driving in the second quarter when Holden was forced to leave the game after spitting at the cornerback Davison Igbinosun's facemask.
The incident happened away from an Oregon running play that went for a loss at the Ohio State 10-yard line. Igbinosun had given Holden a push along the sideline, and Holden at Igbinosun.
Holden was escorted off the field and into the tunnel, where he took off his helmet and threw it.
