Mississippi coach Lane Kiffin said a Texas Tech player spit on one of his players and possibly used a racial slur.
HOUSTON — Mississippi coach Lane Kiffin said a Texas Tech player spit on one of his players and possibly used a racial slur Wednesday night in the Texas Bowl.
After the game, which Ole Miss lost 42-25, Kiffin said that the penalty should have actually been on Texas Tech's Dimitri Moore, who is No. 11 for the Red Raiders, instead of Watkins, who wears No. 11 for Ole Miss. “There was a racial slur involved, that’s not the point of what we’re talking about, about the spitting part. I brought our own 71 up to the officials, right or wrong, you see him crying? He’s not crying not because he got spit on, it’s because something was said.”
“I’m not going to, because I did not hear it, say that that happened for sure that he gave a racial slur to our player,” Kiffin said."I was told that that was said in that but I did not hear that. So that would obviously be a giant issue.”Kiffin said he got so upset during the game because he didn't believe it was fair that his player got a penalty that he thinks clearly should have been on someone else.
