Clemson freshman Andrew Booth will have to miss the first half of next Saturday’s game against Boston College per Atlantic Coast Conference rules after he was ejected from the second-ranked Tigers’ 45-10 win at Louisville.
During a Clemson punt return in the third quarter, Booth and Cardinals’ defensive back Trennell Troutman got in a tussle, which resulted in Booth slamming Troutman to the ground and then throwing a punch.
The Clemson cornerback was penalized for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and was ejected from the game. Of course, Swinney had already sent him to the showers before the official’s ruling.
