WATCH: Kentucky RB Benny Snell ejected from the Music City Bowl after ridiculous call
Kentucky star RB Benny Snell has been ejected from the Music City Bowl after making contact with a referee in the second quarter.
The referee put his hands out to potentially help up Snell following a run, but the Wildcats RB pushed the referees hands away. It wasn’t violent, and it wasn’t a big deal.
However, Snell was ridiculously ejected from the game for making contact with the official.
Below is the replay:

It’s one thing to give a warning to a player, but an ejection was completely unnecessary.
Northwestern leads Kentucky 10-7.
I’m curious what he said to the ref. Even his teammate threw his hand up at snell… It’s either a gross overreaction by the official or something was said.
Nothing was said. The ref admitted it.
We how have our excuse for losing 5 of the last 7 games.
The ref initiated the contact!!! Disqualify the ref.
Wow. That was amazing. The ref is Scrooge. It’s a bowl game and he let his fragile ego get in the way of what would have been a good game. Looks like 0-3 for the SEC now.
That was a bs call. That man has no business being a ref!
The ref was going to the UK players hands, the UK player simply didnt need or want the refs “help” Total BS call. Who monitors their work? Do ref’s get fined ? Its funny Refs make a a$$hat call, they stay and finish the game. Players get sent inside for all day. Not much equality there.
Between this and the a&m game looks like some people are sour about the sec having 2 teams in the playoff.
I don’t say this often, nor lightly, but that ref deserves to be fired. Messing up a call is one thing, but this is almost malicious.
How much worse is CFB refereeing going to get before we get some kind of accountability? Personally I like the way English football (soccer) does it. After every game, the refs get rated by both teams. Good refs keep their jobs or move up, bad refs move down or get fired.
It is just my opinion but it looks like Ref Chris Coyte initiated unwanted personal contact with Benny Snell that Mr. Snell thought was a little too personal
If a player commits 2 personal fouls, they are disqualified and escorted off the field.It is time that a similar rule should be applied to Refs when they 2 horrible calls.
