Moose Muhammad III nearly had an early exit from Saturday’s Texas A&M-McNeese game.
A McNeese player appeared to snatch Muhammad’s mouth guard from his helmet. Muhammad was not amused, and swung at the player in retaliation.
Just saw the Moose Muhammad punch penalty. How is he still in this game?

While throwing a punch is grounds for ejection in college football, Muhammad remained in the game. In the video, below, Muhammad keeps his palm open when swinging at the player’s helmet.
