As a trained official, I have now watched the play 12,483 times and have seen no foul yet. A. Leon Polhill, Gator Friends are the family that we choose for ourselves.

My husband and I both thought we saw some intentional jabbing going on in other piles, too... by the dirty Dawgs. We replayed the downs when Brandon's helmet got ripped off and there was some unsportsmanlike conduct being perpetrated by the butt sniffers (hi, Oliver). And don't forget that Tim got up after one tackle complaining about his eye. Remember him squirting water in it on the sidelines? The announcers even said it looked like he had gotten poked in the eye. In light of this video, it looks like Brandon decided to retaliate. I think saying he's never seemed to be a turn-the-other-cheek kind of player is the understatement of the season, Darlene. LOL.
