UF wins ... thanks to officials



Nice job CBS. Your highlight package from the Florida-Arkansas game is missing two major plays. Somehow the producers neglected to include two horrible penalties on the same Gator drive with about eight minutes remaining in the game.

The first bad call was on a Razorbacks' defensive back who was called for pass interference in the end zone, giving the Gators the ball at the Arkansas 21. For some reason, SEC officials don't like it when a DB uses good technique.

Then, on the very next play, Arkansas was flagged for a personal foul when a player decided to defend himself from a charging Gator. Get this ... it actually happened on a play that was 15 yards away from where the ball was at the point of the UF player making contact.

You know what happened next, Florida's Jeffrey Demps scored on a 10-yard dash to tie the game at 20.

That's embarrassing for the SEC officials, but even more so for CBS officials, who are too scared to show up the conference.

I'm probably the biggest Gator fan in Ohio and even I was disturbed about how bad the calling was toward the Arkansas players.

I want the Gators to win, but I want to watch good football more.

Agree. Not that I don't think UF would have still won, but keep it on the field. It was a good game, but the officials marred it a bit.
