USC linebacker Jabari Ruffin was last seen being escorted off the field after being ejected from Saturday’s game against Alabama. He’d stomped on the groin of a downed Alabama player, Minkah Fitzpatrick.
In order to play again, he’ll have to issue an apology.
Coach Clay Helton announced during a teleconference Sunday that Ruffin will sit out the first half of USC’s next game, against Utah State on Saturday.
Helton will also require Ruffin to write a letter apologizing for the stomp “as a learning lesson,” Helton said.
“Jabari is a good kid that made a poor, emotional decision,” Helton said.
