Oregon WR Traeshon Holden was ejected for spitting on an Ohio State player

Oregon wide receiver Traeshon Holden was ejected in the second quarter of the No. 3 Ducks' game against No. 2 Ohio State for spitting on Ohio State's Davison Igbinosun.

After the two argued near the goal line, Holden clearly spit on Igbinosun in front of a referee. It was an obvious flag and an automatic exclusion by rule as Igbinosun wiped the drool from the visor of his face mask.

After the penalty, Holden was distraught as he walked up the tunnel to the changing room. He threw his helmet and NBC's cameras caught him on his knees, frustrated with himself over the punishment.

Holden came into the game as one of Oregon's best receivers. He was second on the team with 19 catches for 274 yards in the Ducks' first five games of the season and had one catch for 32 yards before being ejected on Saturday.

The former Alabama receiver is in his second season with the Ducks and had 37 catches for 452 yards and six scores a season ago. Holden's penalty came in the middle of a wild first half that had already featured a clear Oregon interception that was called a catch for Ohio State, a hilariously botched extra point for Oregon and a Ducks kickoff that bounced off an Ohio State blocker and off him recovered included Oregon.
