Texas Tech football coach Joey McGuire disputed Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin’s postgame comments accusing a Red Raiders player of spitting at and using a racial slur toward a Rebels player in Wednesday’s Texas Bowl.
“We are disappointed an opposing head coach decided to insinuate serious allegations that are false and irresponsible,” McGuire said, via The Athletic’s Matt Fortuna. “I have discussed these allegations with Dimitri Moore, and he disputed the two claims that were brought forth against him.”
Kiffin claimed the incident occurred during a fourth-quarter scuffle after Ole Miss receiver Dayton Wade fumbled and Texas Tech recovered.
