All but certainly ending their hopes for a College Football Playoff berth, the Florida Gators were knocked off at home by the LSU Tigers, 37-34.

With the loss, Florida fell to 8-2 and dropped from No. 6 to 11 in the AP Poll.

The play that most will remember came with 1:51 remaining in the game, when, with the score knotted at 34, Tigers freshman quarterback Max Johnson found tight end Kole Taylor, another freshman, for a four-yard gain on third-down-and-10.

It looked as if the Gators had forced a punt and would regain possession with a chance to win the game. Due to antics by redshirt junior cornerback Marco Wilson, however, this is not how things unfolded.

Wilson had picked up Taylor’s cleat, which had come loose on the play, and launched it downfield, drawing a 15-yard unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. One minute and 27 seconds later, sophomore Cade York drilled what wound up being the game-winning field goal from 57 yards out.

Third-year head coach Dan Mullen addressed the situation on Sunday, and his response seemingly attempted to justify the cornerback’s actions.

Unsurprisingly, other Twitter users were not impressed with the answer.
