Football players spitting on each other is becoming a trend. On Thursday night, Eagles’ Jalen Carter was ejected from the Eagles-Cowboys game for spitting on Dak Prescott.
On Saturday, Florida Gators Brendan Bett also got ejected for spitting on a USF player while the Gators were only up one point and the Bulls were driving up the field to attempt a game-winning field goal.
Another spitting incident. This time in the South Florida-Florida game.
Florida DL Brendan Bett was ejected and the Gators were assessed a 15-yard penalty.
South Florida went on to kick a walk-off field goal later on the drive. #CFB pic.twitter.com/2wLi8Hdtgx

The penalty helped USF improve its field position and kick a game-winning field goal minutes later.

Gators fans are now calling for Bett to be removed from the team.
Kick Brendan Bett off the team. He doesn’t deserve to wear a @FloridaGators‘ jersey Thanks @ufalumni https://t.co/x0f8oFhuMn
