Florida defensive lineman Brendan Bett apologized for spitting on South Florida offensive lineman Cole Skinner in their upset loss on Saturday.
Bett was ejected late in the Gators 18-16 loss to South Florida on Saturday night after he got into it with Skinner. Bett got right into Skinners face after a play had been called dead and very clearly spit on his face, which led to him being thrown out and the Gators being assessed a 15-yard penalty.
That gave USF the first down, kept their drive alive and eventually set up a 20-yard winning field goal from Nico Gramatica.
Bett addressed Skinner directly in his apology, too.
The spitting incident came just two days after a similar spitting scandal during the Philadelphia Eagles season-opening win over the Dallas Cowboys, when Jalen Carter was ejected for spitting on Dak Prescott.
Bett is in his first season with the Gators after he spent his first two years at Baylor. The redshirt sophomore has eight total tackles and one tackle for loss so far this season at Florida.
The Gators, who tumbled completely out of the national rankings after Saturdays home loss, will take on No. 3 LSU next on Saturday night in Baton Rouge.
