TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Auburn wide receiver Ryan Davis was knocked out of the game after suffering a helmet-to-helmet collision that resulted in a penalty for targeting against Alabama.

The Tide defender, reserve defensive back Jared Mayden, was ejected from the game. As a result of the penalty, he will also miss the first half of next Saturday's SEC Championship Game against Georgia.

Mayden, a junior, entered Saturday having appeared in nine of 11 games, with 12 tackles and one sack.

Davis, Auburn's star receiver and all-time leader in receptions, was attended to by trainers as he lay on the field for some time.
