Florida's Brendan Bett says spitting at opponent was 'a terrible mistake' that 'won’t happen again'
Brendan Bett issued a public apology after spitting on a USF player during a key moment leading to a penalty that contributed to Florida's 18-16 loss, with coach Billy Napier confirming internal discipline.
- During Saturday night's game in Gainesville, a Florida defensive lineman was ejected after he spat at an offensive lineman from USF, which contributed to the Gators' 18-16 home defeat.
- The penalty occurred early in USF's game-winning drive and contributed to a costly 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct call that extended the Bulls' possession.
- Bett, a transfer from Baylor who has recorded eight tackles this season, publicly apologized on Monday, acknowledging his poor judgment and assuring that such behavior will not be repeated.
- Head coach Billy Napier stated that Bett distorted the image of the team's supporters, graduates, and the institution, confirmed having spoken with Bett on Sunday, and revealed that Bett will be subject to internal disciplinary measures.
- Florida has not yet decided whether Bett will be suspended for the upcoming game at LSU, but his absence could impact the team's defensive line depth and recovery chances for the season.
