The Official Tennessee @ #11 Florida Game Thread, 7:00 PM ET, ESPN

Finally getting to watch the game. Payton straight up outran that DB on the long touchdown in the second quarter. He may end up being one of our most valuable transfers yet. You look at guys like Evans, Payton, and Velus Jones, and see the contribution these transfers are making ... it's impressive.

None of that is true and Bailey can pass accurately!
Oh can he? Did you see him looking like a 6th grade qb when he came in late against Tennessee Tech. He was gassed and had no clue what was going on. He stared down his receivers and looked like he was rattled out of his mind.

Didn't notice, you were likely drunk by then
 
Others have posted this repeatedly but the issue was not hitting a player who had signaled for a fair catch, it was targeting. Whether a fair catch signal is given or not, the player has to be given an opportunity to catch the ball. Holiday launched himself, with the crown of the helmet directed at the UF player's head, before the ball got there. Watch Holiday's own reaction as soon as it happened -- he knew he'd made a huge mistake.

The unsportsmanlike call was on an entirely different player, William Mohan.

The fair catch signal, good bad or indifferent, was NOT the point of the call and in fact is entirely irrelevant to either penalty.

Ignoring an obvious violation by officials is important too. There is no way the play under required review could not require the call to be factored in WITH the targeting and unsportsmanlike calls. I am guessing it would have required a re-kick after the two live ball fouls offset each other, our player was ejected by rule and the stepping off of the dead ball foul. The game was impacted by a lack of integrity by officials on the field and in the booth. just that simple. We CAN never know the result of the subsequent action if fairly and accurately officiated.
 
That rule is rarely enforced and the timing of the wave is not really stated clearly in the rule. To state that there should of been offsetting penalties is not a legitimate complaint. Plus we were out of challenges so I do not believe the fair catch signal would of been reviewed. The only time I have seen an illegal fair catch called is when the returner fields the ball and takes off running after the signal.

That is not an invalid signal penalty, that is a delay of game penalty because the ball was dead once he completed a valid fair catch and then tried to advance the ball rather than return the ball to the official. Why in the heck would it not be a valid complaint for being denied an offsetting penalty? Not fitting your agenda does not meet those requirements.
 
I agree that the fair-catch signal was inadequate, but it doesn't matter because he hit him before the ball got there. It was kick-catch interference either way. And since the targeting was called, it would've been a 15-yard penalty even if they'd decide it wasn't kick-catch interference at all.

Better read the rulebook better. If you will notice the call is always penalty x WITH targeting or personal foul targeting. If the latter targeting is not upheld by replay there is no penalty no expulsion. If it is upheld 15 yards and expulsion. If the other offense is upheld but without targeting then the yardage for that foul is stepped off but no expulsion of the player. Kick catch interference would not be stepped off if the invalid signal was also enforced as it would be offsetting and then the targeting would be dealt with as previously defined. Then the dead ball foul would be enforced. So in this instance if the calls were accurately made, it would have been a 15 yard penalty and a re-kick., not two 15 yard stepoffs with them retaining the ball. So it would MATTER. .

Never saw it called so….,
