Video: Georgia WR George Pickens Ejected for Throwing Punches vs. Georgia Tech

This may come as a surprise, but tempers flared in a game dubbed "Clean, Old-Fashioned Hate."

Georgia wide receiver George Pickens was ejected from Saturday's game against Georgia Tech for throwing punches at Yellow Jackets defensive back Tre Swilling.

The Bulldogs took a 37-7 lead as Pickens and Swilling were getting into it, so his departure won't have an impact on the outcome of the game. His availability for the SEC title game against LSU is the bigger concern.
