The line to gain is the yard line established when a new series (first down) is awarded. Unless there is a penalty following the ready-for-play signal, the line to gain is 10 yards in advance of the foremost point of the ball when placed for the first down of the series.

With regards to the punch, if it was a closed hand punch, he should be ejected. If it was an open handed push to the face or face mask, I would probably not eject.
