NEW ORLEANS -- Clemson starting linebacker James Skalski was ejected from Friday's College Football Playoff semifinal at the Allstate Sugar Bowl for targeting on a hard hit to Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields in the second quarter.
Skalski went to tackle Fields and appeared to lower the crown of his helmet as he went to wrap up, hitting Fields hard in his side. The call was not made on the field, but instead went upstairs to the replay booth, where it was made.
Fields stayed down for several minutes and missed a play before returning to throw a touchdown pass.
