    19 Gators have tested positive throwing the big game with LSU this weekend into doubt.
    Florida Gators coach Dan Mullen wanted to "pack the Swamp" with 90,000 fans when LSU comes to town this Saturday. Now, they're just hoping to play the game.

    Yes. What happened was that some officials sounded the whistle before there was a recovery. There isn't a mention of it in the explanation. They totally blew this one as it should have been an IAW and a replay of the down.
    SEC officials and their explanations are the worst.

    Yep. IAW. Worst thing you can do as an official.

    I never have figured out why spiking the ball isn't intentional grounding. Just another rule to help the offense. Don't use all of your timeouts. Or else have a clock keeper like Illinois had back in 1993 when they scored late to beat the Gophers. QB took a shotgun snap, was pressured, threw incomplete across the middle. One second came off of the clock.
    Because the rules allow it.

    Unfortunate but they can't make a call based on what was about to happen.

    I've watched thousands of football games in my life and something happened in the Auburn Arkansas game I have never seen before.

    Auburn is down 28-27 with the ball about 30 seconds left, ball is on the Arkansas 28, no timeouts clock is ticking. Auburn QB fumbles the snap picks it up and spikes the ball to stop the clock. Some confusion ensues but there is no whistle, ball squirts around then just as an Arkansas player picks up the ball, refs blow whistle, and flag is thrown.

    The flag- Intentional grounding! So since the snap was fumbled, I guess that takes away the right of the qb to spike the ball, and Arkansas players were pressuring the qb. So, they announce a 10 second run-off in addition to the grounding. BUT THAT'S NOT THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL PART! When the Auburn QB picked up the ball, he was facing backwards and spiked the ball BACKWARDS... CLEARLY- not even close to a forward spike. So, they do a booth review and the play stands.

    Auburn lines up for FG with 10 second runoff and Auburn kicks FG as time runs out.

    Arkansas got hosed. That should have been ruled a backward pass.
