This college football player got some inspiration from Jalen Carter\u2019s altercation with Dak Prescott<\/a> \u2014 and it might\u2019ve cost his team the win.<\/p>\n

Late in the fourth quarter of Saturday\u2019s game between Florida and South Florida, Gators defensive tackle Brendan Bett was seen spitting on Bulls offensive lineman Cole Skinner late in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n

Following a rushing play from South Florida, Bett got up to confront Skinner and hocked a loogie in his face.<\/p>\n

Skinner pushed Bett in response before the referees threw the flags.<\/p>\n

Bett was hit with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty and was ejected for the spitting, with South Florida earning a free 15 yards.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unacceptable,\u201d Florida head coach Billy Napier said postgame, according to the Tampa Bay Times<\/a>. \u201cWhen a guy does something like that, he\u2019s compromising the team. He\u2019s putting himself before the team.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the very next play, the Bulls completed a 29-yard pass to get themselves into field goal range with 1:54 left in the game.<\/p>\n

After running out the clock, South Florida kicker Nico Gramatica sunk a 20-yard field goal to win the game, 18-16, over the Gators.<\/p>\n

The spit between Carter and Prescott happened just three days prior, but their altercation had less of an impact on the game itself.<\/p>\n

Despite Carter getting hit with the ejection during Thursday\u2019s game between the two NFC East teams, video shown later showed that Prescott apparently spat on the defensive tackle first<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Prescott, however, insisted that the entire situation was just a misunderstanding, claiming that he had to spit while talking to Cowboys offensive lineman Tyler Booker.<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually said words like, \u2018Why the hell would I\u2019 \u2014 excuse me, but probably even more colorful \u2014 \u2018What would I need to spit on you for?\u2019 He just spit on me in that moment, it was more of a surprise than anything,\u201d Prescott said,\u00a0according to Pro Football Talk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Carter apologized following the incident, saying that, \u201cIt won\u2019t happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n

The NFL is reportedly going to investigate the situation further, according to NFL Network<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
