Just minutes into opening game, a defender has already been ejected

UCF leads 14-7 against FIU midway through the first quarter.

FIU and UCF are doing battle on CBS Sports, and we've already had our first ejection just a few minutes into the game.

Senior FIU safety Niko Gonzalez chased down UCF quarterback McKenzie Milton. Gonzalez led with his shoulder, but popped Milton in the helmet and that landed him an ejection.

In three seasons, Gonzalez has recorded 74 tackles, three interceptions and three fumble recoveries.
