Rutgers QB Artur Sitkowski Takes Punch to the Face From Center in TD Celebration

Rutgers celebrated a touchdown against Boston College on Saturday as only the Scarlet Knights could as center Mike Maietti punched quarterback Artur Sitkowski in the face.

Sitkowski completed a 74-yard touchdown pass to wideout Raheem Blackshear to tie the game 7-7 in the first quarter. The sophomore QB turned to celebrate with his offensive lineman but was met only by Maietti's fist. Just a typical afternoon in Piscataway.

The Scarlet Knights didn't reach the end zone again in the first half after Maietti's punch. Boston College entered halftime with a 17-13 lead before seizing a 24-13 lead midway through the third quarter.
