GAINESVILLE, Fl. (KMIZ)

Mizzou and Florida issued a joint statement on Sunday in response to Saturday night's brawl just before halftime.

"The actions at the end of the first half of last night’s game do not reflect the values of our football program or University. We are committed to healthy competition and good sportsmanship. The clean play without incident in the second half is how we expect to represent both institutions and the SEC. We believe both programs will use this moment to learn from so that future incidents like this do not happen."

Mizzou's Tre Williams and Florida's Zachary Carter and Antwaun Powell were ejected from the game. All players and coaches were also given an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
