Florida football defensive lineman Brendan Bett was penalized and ejected for spitting on a USF player during the Gators' upset loss.

Florida defensive tackle Brendan Bett apologized Monday for spitting at a USF player during a crucial moment in an 18-16 loss last weekend, calling his actions a "terrible mistake." Bett drew a 15-yard penalty and was ejected from the game after spitting at offensive lineman Cole Skinner with about two minutes left.

During the Bulls’ game-winning drive, where quarterback Byrum Brown marched 87 yards downfield to set up a game-winning field goal, Bett was ejected for spitting on USF offensive lineman Cole Skinner. “It’s unacceptable,” Napier said. “When a guy does something like that, he's compromising the team. He's putting himself before the team.”
