Here is an excerpt from the current SI.com story on that official getting yanked from the upcoming UF-UT game. Now, I knew that the SEC had acknowledged that the clock was mishandled after the call. But, this is the first time that I heard that the official who threw the flag flatly admits he should have called one on your guy and that your guy was the one who hit, first. Maybe this came out before and I just missed it:
"A former LSU football player who is a school teacher in South Carolina, Moreau had worked SEC football games for 12 years without any major problems until the Florida-Tennessee game.
Moreau said he had warned Baker and Vols cornerback Jonathan Wade about hitting each other late. So when he saw them smack each other's helmets with less than a minute to play, he threw a flag.
Wade hit first, and Baker retaliated. But Moreau called a 15-yard penalty against the Gators, which pushed them back farther for a punt.
Moreau acknowledged that should have called a double foul. He was suspended for two weeks after the call."
