Clemson CB Andrew Booth ejected after throwing punch vs. Louisville
Clemson cornerback Andrew Booth was ejected from Saturday’s game against Louisville after throwing a punch.
Booth, a freshman in the game on the punt return team, became engaged with Louisville’s Trenell Troutman and tackled him to the ground. Booth was then on top of Troutman and delivered a blow to Troutman’s helmet.
Booth was promptly ejected from the game by the officials. And it’s the kind of ejection that could prompt disciplinary action from the ACC office.
Before that, a disgusted Dabo Swinney sent him off to the locker room.
Andrew Booth of Clemson just sent to the locker room for punching a Louisville player. Dabo didn't even wait for the refs to eject him; just sent him packing.
