Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin: Texas Tech player spit, possibly used racial slur
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.
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. “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.” 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 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.
