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.
A scrum between the teams came after Ole Miss' Dayton Wade fumbled early in the fourth quarter and Texas Tech recovered. There was pushing and shoving between players and Ole Miss player Jordan Watkins was given a personal foul penalty.
“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. When asked to clarify if a Texas Tech player used a racial slur toward one of his players, Kiffin said he wasn't sure.
“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.”
