It's been bugging me since the game - who the he!! was #9 getting called for PFs late in the game? Found two sources that documented play-by-play to include penalties.

NCAA.org and floridagators.com

In both, it highlights Dre Massey getting the unsportsmanlike offsetting penalty with about 2:30 left in the game, then one by himself with 1:45 left (after our last TD but before the KO).

I didn't see what occurred for the offsetting, but it indicates Massey was on the field during an offensive play. The second, I think was intended for VJ for punting the ball into the endzone to nod to Spikes, and was mis-credited to Massey (no mention of VJ's punt, which surely would have been an unsportsmanlike penalty).

So, I won't get too mad at the kid for getting 2x 15yd penalties in the last 2-1/2 minutes, when at least one was not him. But it also makes me think...bust? Not really part of the gameplan at this point.

Neither foul was him. The first was a phantom foul so "the refs didnt decide the game" and the second was Vosean.

The referees were drunk, obviously.

He was a Juco. Their success rate is about 10%.

I think to be considered a bust you have to be a highly rated player...kid was just a JUCO guy that Mac thought belonged here. Hope he took his education seriously...

He is starting to reach Debose level. He’s got to be 30 by now I feel like.

Agree. The refs convened to discuss that very topic, IMO. They realized that call was about to decide the game so they just made it offsetting.

Or CB.

I can't believe he's worse than McWilliams.

You reminded me of a question I had during the game.
Why was McWilliams starting over T. Dean? Was Dean being punished? LSU came out and went at McWilliams on the very first snap.
The D looked infinitely better once Dean got back out there.

No clue. At first I was thinking he was suspended for the entire first half, but he was suspended in the first half of the cowbell game. I don't know.

Their OC sure had 21 circled though. Who can blame them?

Just pick up the damn flag and wave it off rather than make yourself a liar.

Stupid refs are stupid
I agree, particularly if it's someone smacking another guy in the helmet or whatever. Give him a warning and move on.

However if it were an intentional grounding on us or something I guarantee they would have called it even though it " would change the game".
