USC starting LT ejected after getting physical with official

For the second straight week, a USC football player has cast his university and his program in a negative light.

Just a couple of minutes into USC’s Week 2 game with Utah State, starting left tackle Chuma Edoga was ejected from the game after he got physical with an official. Edoga and a USU player were involved in some extracurricular activities following the play and the official attempted to restore order, but was met by an angry -- and large -- lineman who was in no mood for his brand of officiating.

The Trojans were penalized 15 yards for the personal foul, and the sophomore was given the boot.

Here’s the full play that ended with Chuma Edoga’s ejection. https://t.co/YLO05xq1J6

In last week’s season-opening loss to Alabama, Jabari Ruffin cleat-stomped a Tide player in the groin. Ruffin was suspended for the first half of today’s game.

As of this posting, USC holds a 14-0 lead midway through the second quarter.
