Florida’s had its second player ejected for targeting this season. This time it was safety Cody Riggs. On Missouri’s first play from scrimmage, Maty Mauk went deep to L’Damian Washington, who beat Vernon Hargreaves III. After Washington hauled in the pass, Riggs tackled him. The ref immediately through a flag. Then, as procedure for the new rule, they went under review to confirm the ejection. Sure enough, Riggs was ejected from the game.

While he certainly led with his helmet, he mostly hit the ball but also made contact with Washington’s helmet. Thus drawing the penalty and ejection.

The Gators’ first player ejected due to the new rule was Brian Poole in the game against Tennessee.

I think this play was a little more obvious than Riggs’. Regardless, I’m sure Muschamp will be badgered about it post game and will have some choice words.
