LSU star linebacker Whit Weeks ejected against Florida for targeting in the opening minutes

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — LSU star linebacker Whit Weeks was ejected from the third-ranked Tigers’ game against Florida on Saturday night for targeting after a helmet-to-helmet hit on Florida receiver Vernell Brown III.

The hit by the preseason All-America selection and team captain came at the end of 6-yard catch on Florida’s third-play from scrimmage.

The penalty gave Florida a first down on the LSU 29, and the Gators finished the drive with a field goal to open the scoring.

In LSU’s previous two games, Weeks made seven tackles, including half a sack and one tackle for loss.

Weeks was replaced by his older brother, West Weeks, who lined up alongside Harold Perkins in two-linebacker formations.
