LSU defensive lineman ejected for dirty hit on Florida State QB Jordan Travis

LSU defensive lineman Alie Gaye has been ejected for targeting for an illegal hit on Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis.

The play resulted in a 17-3 lead for the Seminoles and Ontaria Wilson’s second touchdown of the game.
