A coaching ejection is commonplace in the sport of basketball and managers get tossed from baseball games on occasion. On the gridiron, it’s standard to have your coach manning the sideline from kickoff until the clock reaches triple zeros.
But Saturday afternoon at UB Stadium, the atypical instance of a college football coach facing ejection finally transpired. Bowling Green head coach Scot Loeffler picked up two unsportsmanlike conduct penalties in the third quarter which ultimately resulted in his expulsion from the game.
The first unsportsmanlike foul occurred while Buffalo was inside Bowling Green’s red zone. The Falcons were holding onto a 28-10 lead at that point, marking their largest advantage of the season.
