USC defensive end Jabari Ruffin was ejected from Saturday's game against Alabama for stomping on the groin of Crimson Tide defensive back Minkah Fitzpatrick.

Alabama was up 10-3 over USC at the time. Trojan wide receiver Adoree' Jackson was attempting to help Fitzpatrick up from the turf with 3:20 left in second quarter when Ruffin deliberately stepped on Fitzpatrick's groin, immediately sparking retaliation on the field.

The referee called senior Ruffin on a flagrant personal foul and disqualified him from the game.
