Oklahoma Sooners running back Joe Mixon is currently being sued by a woman for punching her in the face in July 2014. Disturbing video of the incident was released last month. But during the team's 35-13 victory today against the Auburn Tigers in the Allstate Sugar Bowl, Mixon's teammates appeared to make light of the incident while celebrating Mixon scoring a touchdown.

Several players, in particular linebacker Caleb Kelly and cornerback Dakota Austin, were caught on camera pretending to hit Mixon, in what many have interpreted as a mocking reference to the assault.
