LUBBOCK, Texas (KCBD) - Texas Tech Athletics released footage it submitted to the Big 12 Conference regarding the claims of a pocketknife being thrown at the Kansas sideline in the Red Raiders’ 42-17 Homecoming win.
During his postgame press conference, Kansas coach Lance Leipold claimed the pocketknife was thrown at a staff member.
Texas Tech was issued two 15-yard penalties throughout the duration of the game. According to Texas Tech Athletic Director Kirby Hocutt’s letter to the Big 12, the second penalty was issued “in response to KU’s claims on the sideline that a pocketknife was thrown into the KU bench.”
The first penalty was because of Texas Tech fans continuing to throw objects/tortillas onto the playing surface after its traditional opening kickoff throw and warnings.
