He first retaliated by throwing a punch but was then pulled away from the exchange by umpire Rick DiBernardo.Poor decision by a young person that just got overemotional and was more looking at the defender downfield, USC coach Clay Helton said. But hes got to be smarter. There is no excuse. Weve got to make great decisions; that could cost you a game and, as you can tell, were still learning as a team.Edoga didnt receive the personal foul that led to his ejection until he aggressively pushed away DiBernardos hands.Last week, linebacker Jabari Ruffin was ejected in the first half after stomping on the groin of Alabamas Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Hes a young kid.Banner immediately voiced his displeasure with the sophomores action and said several players and coaches addressed it with him after the game.I told him right after it happened it was bullcrap and he understands, Banner said.
