While there's still any chance you have to try to win. That's practical and it's a good message for the team.

Show me anywhere in the history of football where a team scored 13 points in 9 seconds and I’ll concede the point

And if the ref doesn't blow the whistle and the ball carrier continues to run? I'm curious about the rule.

As soon as a player makes the motion to slide or kneel the play is dead. A few years back some QB faked a slide and the defense gave up and he went on for a TD. So they implemented the new rule to combat that. Might be a penalty also, who knows. Would probably be if we did it

True for the slide, not the kneel.

The rule book says kneeling or simulating the act of kneeling rules the play dead, but I’ll take your word for it.

Tennessee, Florida get into fight after cheap shot at end of game - NewsBreak

Players from Florida and Tennessee got into a fight at the end of the Gators’ 29-16 win over the Volunteers at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Fla. on Saturday night. Florida was leading 29-16 with 9 seconds left and got ready to take a knee on 4th-and-16. Quarterback Graham Mertz took...

Yes that was Pitt's quarterback. Per the rulebook, at what point in time is the ball dead? If no whistle and he scores?

That's silly, unless you remember the ending to every college game in history and confirm it's never happened. What was the least amount of time it took?

Per the rule now, it would be where he started his motion to simulate the slide. Unless it happens against us, then it’s a TD

Yes that would be the spot. But the whistle must blow to signify stop of play, otherwise the ball carrier could gain more yardage or run more clock. I'll try to find the actual rule.

That Gator QB was on a knee from what I see. How many young kids you think saw that move and think it's ok to do? These players are supposed to be upstanding athletes and let the score speak for itself. Pulling that stunt is unacceptable and gives a bad attitude vibe off that we don't need.

Oh look…we’ve got a virtue signaler up in here.

Exactly. We only scored 2 TDS in the first 59 min and 51 secs. What was we holding back for the last 9 secs.

lol @ the "cheap shot"

QB had the chance to take a knee right away. Ball was snapped with 9 seconds and QB didn't attempt a knee until the 6 second mark. At the end of the day that falls on the QB. Imagine if his dumb-ss got badly injured from an OL-DL falling directly on his leg? It wouldve been entirely his fault.

The "fight" was nonexistent. Players jawing, a few guys throwing their body around. Hadden immediately got in the middle and squared up helmet to helmet on against an OLman. Comical stuff. ESPN got what they wanted out of it.

Michael Buffer should have been there to bellow. "LET'S GET READY TO RUMMMMBBBBBBBBLLLLLLLEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Unfortunately.......a certain VOL defensive player decided to hit the Gator QB when he was down taking a knee and blasted him over. I've told many on here already, I don't give a got-dang if he is a Gator QB.....you do not hit a kneeling Quarterback! That's thug behavior and the lowest of the low. I'm seriously wondering why Heupel isn't reigning in this sort of crap. Why is he not coaching some discipline!

Did you see the QB's knee hit the ground, or see him fake it in an attempt to run off more clock? My replay made it look like it never hit the ground before he was flying backwards. ANYBODY got a clear and conclusive shot of the play? Bet more are out there.

I bet he called it to avoid the versatile idiots on these boards giving him hell for taking a timeout to the locker room.

You need to go back and look very closely at that play. When the QB ,who was considered a runner at that point, took the knee the Tennessee player was about one foot away from him. No way on earth could he have avoided contact, As a matter of fact he tried to pull up and as a result the contact was minimal considering the closeness. The targeting call will be reversed this week if there is any fairness at all in those Birmingham offices.

Hope they throw in an apology for the Roughing call where the official said it was for Contact to the head. There was none. Pretty sure that I heard that when I replayed it. ANYBODY confirm one way or the other?

Actually, it looked like he tried to pull up once the QB started to kneel. The FL players started the pushing.

With 8 seconds left, why didn't the QB take a knee as soon as the ball was snapped? There was no need to dance around in the backfield like that.

I thought it was weird the QB took a knee outside the pocket instead 9fbthrowing the ball away. I took it as taunting to some degree, and our guy bit.

Gators could have punted to burn off the 9 seconds but chose to run their QB around. He then started to take knee but by then Omari was like two yards away running at full speed and pulled up as best he could. He wasn’t blasted at all. It was probably a poor decision to call a timeout that late but it was only one of many that night.

Qb was trying to use clock. Defense justified to get us the ball. Maybe a prayer but hail Mary possibly.
