Things got a little testy in Alabama’s season opener against USC.

After senior Adam Griffith’s 29-yard field goal to give the Crimson Tide a 10-3 lead, Trojans backup defensive end Jabari Ruffin was a whistled for stomping on defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick’s groin following the ensuing kickoff. Officials marked off half the distance to the goal and ejected Ruffin from the game.
