Lane Kiffin Says Texas Tech Player Spit, May Have Used Racial Slur Toward Ole Miss Player

Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin said a Texas Tech player spit on one of his players and may have used a racial slur during his team’s Texas Bowl loss in Houston on Wednesday night.

The alleged incident occurred when a scrum erupted early in the fourth quarter following a fumble by Ole Miss wide receiver Dayton Wade and a Texas Tech recovery. Pushing and shoving between players ensued, and Rebels wide receiver Jordan Watkins was assessed a personal foul penalty.

But Kiffin said the penalty should have been on Texas Tech’s Dimitri Moore, who is No.
