Julius Turner prides himself on being an emotional player that brings "juice" to the field, whether it's practice or game day.

The Rutgers nose guard crossed a line in that department near the end of last year's season finale against Michigan State.

Turner was removed from the game and thrown off the sideline by head coach Chris Ash in the fourth quarter of a 40-7 loss to the Spartans after being hit for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty - a transgression Ash said fell short of the program's standard and would not tolerated.
