Missouri roughed up Nebraska's pride with a 52-17 defeat in Lincoln last year. Then Chase Daniel added insult.
The Missouri quarterback said the Huskers were "one of the dirtiest teams I've played." He also said one player spit on him before the game.
Missouri linebacker Sean Weatherspoon didn't witness the incident in Lincoln, he said this week. But he questions Daniel's truth-telling.
"Maybe Chase could've just been saying that to rev us up," Weatherspoon said. "He could've just said that to get us going. I honestly think that's what happened, because I can't imagine (a player) doing that … I don't believe that. I really don't."
Weatherspoon said his experience in Lincoln last year was positive. Fans were courteous.
"I'm going to have to ask Chase. I'm going to have to call him and figure out what was going on."
