Florida defensive lineman Brendan Bett apologized Monday after being ejected for spitting in the face of USF offensive lineman Cole Skinner during their game Saturday.

“I want to sincerely apologize for my actions in the game this past Saturday,” Bett wrote in an Instagram post. “I let down my teammates, coaches, family and all of Gator Nation. Our coaches always instill in us the value of sportsmanship and I crossed the line. I also want to apologize to South Florida. That’s not the person or player I strive to be. I made a terrible mistake and it won’t happen again.”

Following a snap in the fourth quarter, Bett got off the ground and stepped into Skinner’s face, proceeding to spit and turn away before getting shoved by Skinner.
