Disagree. He got up and jumped around. Worse than that happens countless times in games all over the country every week without a flag being thrown.

If there was a rule against flopping then yes, we would have deserved a flag. But no way did that warrant a taunting foul. That's crazy talk.

Gaulden's flop was not very dignified and I wish he hadn't done it. But the ref standing a few feet away saw a punch thrown. That's why he threw the flag, not because of Gaulden's antics.

I thought Gaulden was going to get flagged for taunting

Well considering the UF player was ejected. Bad penalties/no penalties happen all the time. But a player getting ejected is a bit tough.

agreed the team from Florida you would think would have been able to deal with the heat better than the one from Rocky Top.........If you take away their mouths....This years version has played no one up to this point and was extremely soft in this one

Just as terrible as no flag on punching Hurd at the end of the game and also at the first or second play of the game hurd is getting up from the tackle and Cox gives him a shot to the back of the head and no flag. Would you rather discuss your mysterious leg cramp flops all during the second half by your defense?

Yeah, no one is talking about the mysterious leg cramps.... Really? From a team that lives and practices every day in FLORIDA where the heat and humidity is worse than Knoxville, yet they are the one's getting cramps? Calling BS on that...

Everytime we see punches thrown at our guys, these brain damaged refs miss it somehow. I really wish somebody would make a list of SEC officials names, and refer them to their local Lion's club. And though I agree Gaulden flopping looked silly, if that is what it takes to get them to pay attention, to Hell with it.

I am sure some Florida folk are still upset about Powell getting tossed. But as we said in my younger days, screw em if they can't take a joke.

Yeah I was confused by that as well. Why was Martin not ejected if he threw a punch? Martin has got to get his head right.

I believe that was Powell's second personal foul is why he was tossed. And I agree totally that Martin is going to have to play smarter than he has been. He can do it, though. He's got the ability.

I don't think Martin actually threw one or connected. Mostly it was just posturing, or "taunting' for the PC folk. It was the opening kickoff, and I think the refs flagged him quick hoping to send a message to both teams. Like that ever works.

But the way he played, maybe not ejecting him at the first of the game was a greater penalty. I know he was trying to fill in for Sutton, but his mistakes were the most obvious of the first half.

Martin is a talented player, but as you said, he wasn't right in the head Saturday. I am sure there are several differences, both obvious and subtle, to account for the slow starting first half and the turnaround. Sadly, I feel one of them was Martin being benched.

I just want to know what the Hell got into Colton Jumper. That guy wearing his uniform in the second half played almost like an All-American, was it really him out there? So much for the Daddy's money theory.

Wrong, but thanks for playing anyway.

If he had been tossed for a second personal foul, the official would have said it. He didn't. He specified Powell threw a punch, and was disqualified for that.

No mystery. UF wasn't a well conditioned team. If I were a UF fan (just threw up a little in my mouth), that would concern me about McElwain's program.

UT shot themselves in the foot the whole 1st half. But their great execution in the 2nd half was made even better by the fact that UT was just flat out in better shape.

You saw the difference between a coach who has an almost obsessive focus on physical conditioning and one that is somewhere on the other side of the spectrum.

UT has a lot more talent than florida--they just came out tight. Once everything settled down, talent took over and the rout was on! Florida has some big issues on offense---no playmakers except callaway and he made huge mistakes with those fair catches on the 2 and 1. It could be a long year for uf---mcelwain may be under heat at the end of the season.

This is a non-issue but IMO punches, stomps, kicks, and other non-football contact should be reviewable. Any time something like that is done, the replay official should be able to call a foul.

They should also be allowed to resolve the "second punch thrown" issues to assure both players get penalties.

Uh, no , you're wrong. He was called for unsportsmanlike conduct earlier in the game. Second one gets you ejected. Referee said he has "ejected himself from the game".

It's been reported that UF has a new air-conditioned practice facility. Looks like they should have been outside getting prepared for the heat and humidity. They were physically and mentally beaten by the 4th quarter.

The guy threw the punch..connecting or not doesnt matter..It is still a personal foul..

People thinking the flop had anything to do with it are fooling themselves, a flop is simply to draw attention so a ref looks at what is going on. Since a ref was looking at them when it happened, the flop was insubstantial..just sayin

I confess that I was NOT at the game...but the replays shown by CBS did NOT look like a punch at all...it looked like he was just extending his arm.....

I will leave room for being wrong...but no replay I saw showed a punch.
