An Arizona State player punched a Duke player in his sensitive area.
One Arizona State player did not get away with his actions towards a Duke player on the field.
In the middle of the high-scoring affair, Justin Wodtly was caught being bad while at the bottom of a pile. The Sun Devils’ defensive lineman had two Blue Devils players on top of him that he wanted off. To get that done, he saw his only course of action in front of him.
Wodtly could be seen using his left hand to repeatedly punch offensive lineman Justin Pickett in his sensitive area. After two punches, Pickett grabbed the area and started to roll over in pain. Wodtly completed his mission and promptly got up from the field.
It does not appear that the refs saw what the Arizona State player did to the Duke player. Neither team has a game left this season. Any punishment would have to be levied for the 2026 season.
Taking shots to the groin can happen at times. A Texas A&M defender punched a defender right in his junk and was ejected for his actions. Earlier in the season, a referee took a football to the groin.
