Tensions ran rather high in Friday night's Memphis-Tulane game to a point where a Tiger hit a member of the Green Wave where no man wants to be hit.

Memphis defensive lineman Andres Fox was ejected after a shot to Josh Remetich's groin.

The low blow came with less than 10 minutes to go in the ballgame as Memphis trailed by 10. After a 2nd and 9 incompletion, Fox appeared to hit the offensive lineman in the sensitive spot.

Fox was assessed a personal foul and promptly booted from the game, and the Green Wave were given a free first down.

There was no defending Fox's shot, not even by his own head coach in Ryan Silverfield, who called it a "BS move."

"That's inexcusable. That is not us," Silverfield told reporters after the game. "I'm very, very, very disappointed in the individual that did it. He will be handled appropriately. . . . My apologies to Tulane for that BS move."
