TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Three players were ejected during a pair of early Top 25 games on Saturday for targeting.
Lamarcus Brutus, a starting safety for No. 11 Florida State, was ejected in the first quarter against South Florida. He would be joined by USF linebacker Auggie Sanchez in the third quarter. Auburn cornerback Blake Countess was tossed during the first half against Jacksonville State.
Brutus made contact with South Florida's Lamar Robbins with his helmet during a punt return by Jesus "Bobo" Wilson. Later, Sanchez launched and made late contact with quarterback Everett Golson on a third-down play.
