“There was a racial slur involved, that’s not the point of what we’re talking about, (it’s) about the spitting part...' Ole Miss's Lane Kiffin said. 'He’s not crying not because he got spit on, it’s because something was said.”
Lane Kiffin said a Texas Tech player spit on one of his Ole Miss players after a Rebels fourth-quarter fumble Wednesday during the Texas Bowl turned into a scrum.Ole Miss’ Dayton Wade fumbled early in the fourth quarter and Texas Tech recovered. Pushing and shoving between players resulted in Ole Miss’ Jordan Watkins getting a personal foul.
After Texas Tech’s 42-25 win, Kiffin said the flag was thrown on the wrong No. 11. He said Texas Tech’s Dimitri Moore should have been flagged. “They announce our 11, which is Jordan Watkins, who wasn’t in the fight, it was their 11 that was fighting 71 and everybody knew because their own coaches were yelling at the guy,” Kiffin said.
“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.
