Suspensions well deserved.

The suspension were deserved for the awful call that turned the end of the UGa v. LSU game. Last week’s call was just an excuse.

On that call the offical made a judgement that the UF guy pulled up with the whistle and the UAR guy could have. I pretty much agree the UF guy pulled up at the last second which is why he ended up on his butt. Whether the UAR guy could have pulled up to or not is tough to know. They have told officals the last couple of years to clean up the hitting after the whistle. So the official threw the flag.

I prefer they not throw any of these flags particularly late in close games. Football is a contact sport. You better be ready to be hit anytime you are within the white lines and just after you have crossed them too in my mind. But if you tell officials to clean up late hits, you must expect calls like this.
