The incident occurred in the second quarter at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, on a second-and-goal play from the Ohio State 10. Holden and Buckeyes cornerback Davison Igbinosun briefly made contact near the goal line, and Holden spit toward Igbinosun’s face as he was running back toward the huddle.

Holden is a member of the No. 3 Oregon Ducks squad that was hosting the No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes in a clash of the Big Ten elites. The Ducks ended up winning 32-31 after a late blunder by Ohio State quarterback Will Howard.

Oregon receiver Traeshon Holden was ejected from the third-ranked Ducks’ game against Ohio State for unsportsmanlike conduct after he spit on a Buckeyes player
