One of the players the comments were targeted towards was running back Tre Wisner. Wisner’s mother quoted the video on Twitter with her response.
“The fact my son down there and they saying go back to the projects really just saddens my heart that as his mother no matter how old he had to listen to that,” she said in the Tweet.
Wisner also said in the Tweet that parents had water bottles and beer cans thrown at them and even had fans spit on them throughout the course of the game.
Texas won the game against Alabama 34-24, raising frustrations of fans which ultimately led the comments directed towards players.
