Texas Longhorns lineman Malcolm Roach was ejected from Saturday’s rivalry game against Oklahoma for targeting during the third quarter.
The Sooners had the ball at their 25 and threw a quick pass to CeeDee Lamb, who went down. Roach came in and nailed the receiver just as he hit the turf.

The referees called an immediate unnecessary roughness penalty on Roach and then reviewed the play. They decided to eject the linebacker for targeting.
Roach, a senior, entered the game with 13 tackles on the season.
