Looks like it happened before the concussion..

But I agree with Slaton. It was childish..

White, who completed 16 of 25 passes for 181 yards and two touchdowns and averaged 6.1 yards on 24 carries and finished with 147 yards rushing, said the incident occurred in the third quarter.

Running back Steve Slaton was ruled to have lost a fumble, and as the players battled in the pile, White and Smith came face-to-face. White suddenly rocked back and then tapped the back judge on the shoulder and pointed at Smith.

No penalty was called.

"That's not saying anything about their team," White said. "Most of them are very classy. I enjoy being out on the field with them and having fun, but that one incident didn't sit too well for me at all. Never in my life has anyone spit in my face."

White was animated on the field as the review was going on and used the entire delay to calm down. The call was overturned and WVU retained possession, but White lost a fumble three plays later.

He was hit hard when he lost the fumble and had to convince coaches he could remain in the game, but Slaton said he continued to fume.

"He was angry," said Slaton, who finished with only 60 yards on 17 carries. "That's not something a man should do. That's disrespectful and that's childish."
