UCLA Bruins freshman offensive linemen Caleb Benenoch punched USC Trojans lineman J.R. Tavai and was ejected from their game against USC. After a five-yard run, Benenoch punched Tavai.
Here is Benenoch's best jab, it actually knocks Tavai on his butt:
Benenoch started at right tackle for the Bruins and was replaced by Ben Wysocki, normally a guard. (via latimes.com)
One punch wasn't enough for UCLA, as sophomore cornerback Ishmael Adams decided to enter the frenzy, although he was not ejected and was a part of offsetting penalties with USC's Kevon Seymour. The skirmish happened following a punt return by USC.
Here is Adams attempting to outdo Benenoch:
The game was still scoreless at the occurrence of each of the penalties. UCLA failed to gain a first down after the Benenoch penalty, and after the punt at the end of that drive, the Adams punch happened.
Players eventually should learn that punching a facemask only hurts hands, not faces, right?
UCLA was leading 14-7 with 5:30 left in the first half.
