I only saw the replay and didn't hear anything regarding an ejection or lack thereof, although I assumed that would be a given. I can't imagine how that wouldn't have been automatic as there are only two ways you contact an official in this situation: A) accidental contact (which this wasn't) or B) intentional contact. Given those two possibilities, I'm pretty sure the options are A) no foul for accidental contact or B) USC foul, 15 yards and automatic ejection. The ejection is part of the penalty for forcible contacting an official and even if the penalty were declined, the ejection would stand.
