UAB player intentionally stomps on Tennessee K Max Gilbert’s foot

UAB’s Sirad Bryant was whistled for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty during the first quarter Saturday after intentionally stomping on the foot of Tennessee kicker Max Gilbert.

After the 15th-ranked Volunteers scored their third touchdown of the first quarter, Bryant bumped into holder Jackson Ross following an extra-point attempt. While Ross glared back at Bryant, the latter player then turned his attention to Gilbert and intentionally stomped on his foot.

Gilbert briefly bent over after the force of the blow but didn’t seem the worse for wear, as he came on to kick another extra point in the second quarter.
