Louisville linebacker Dorian Etheridge was ejected from the Music City Bowl due to him kicking a Mississippi State player.
Etheridge made the tackle on Bulldogs running back Nick Gibson; however, while laying on the ground, the linebacker kicked a MSU player who appeared to be holding his leg or foot. Etheridge looked like he attempted to get up after making the tackle, but he couldn’t. He then resulted to kicking the player off of his foot. That’s when he was penalized for a personal foul and ejected.
