Rebels head coach Lane Kiffin also raised concerns that a Red Raiders player spit on one of his student-athletes during Wednesday's bowl game inside NRG Stadium.
It's Houston's biggest college football event, and two proud, high-profile brands will help pack NRG Stadium for the 2022 Tax Act Texas Bowl.Texas Tech on Thursday denied claims by Mississippi coach Lane Kiffin, who said a Red Raiders player spit on one of his players and possibly used a racial slur during the Texas Bowl.
Kiffin said after the game that Watkins wasn't in the fight, and that Moore was fighting Ole Miss lineman Jayden Williams and that "everybody knew" because Texas Tech coaches were yelling at their own player."There was a racial slur involved, that's not the point of what we're talking about, about the spitting part," Kiffin 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.""We are disappointed an opposing head coach decided to insinuate serious allegations that are false and irresponsible," Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire said in a statement released by the school Thursday.
"I'm going to defend our players when a kid spits on them and is accused to a national audience that it's him," Kiffin said. "So, Jordan has to deal with this."
