Nebraska coach Bo Pelini and Mizzou coach Gary Pinkel both said the case was closed on charges that a Nebraska player spit on Chase Daniel during Saturday’s game.

“We communicated with Missouri, and investigated and addressed the allegations and at this point it’s a moot issue,” Pelini said.

Asked if there was any truth to what Daniel’s charges, Pelini replied: “It’s a lot of ‘he said-he said’ — you know what I’m saying? I don’t think either coaching staff was really aware of it and we did our investigation and it’s over.”

Asked if it ever became clear which player was accused, he said: “It was a little bit gray.”

Pinkel said, “We’ve communicated with Nebraska (Sunday), and as far as I’m concerned from a Missouri standpoint, it’s a dead issue. I’m not going to comment on it.”

Daniel and the MU players meet the media this afternoon in Columbia. If they have any more to say, we’ll let you know.
