I thought he was going to reference the opening deep pass TD to Percy against Lsu.
But you’re correct. He was lit’rally talking about a different game all together.
Not to defend Newton, but it does happen. I’ve heard my dad tell stories of Rodney Brewer’s turnovers against Rutgers in the early 80s, and it’s ranged from 3 to 7.

I've was at the Kerwin Bell UF vs Auburn game, but I have heard several people talk about the two point conversation, anywhere from 11 players on defense to 22 players on defense... the legends grow.

I was there too, in the south east end zone where they used to throw out the little footballs. So I saw it up close. The run itself was impressive. But as I recall, it was his hurdling of the earthquake crack that emerged at the 10 that really sets it apart.
Of course, the live tigers that had been released and were roaming the field at the time didn’t help matters.

That 08 game vs LSU was the craziest crowd.
Percy's TD was crazy because Tebow under threw it, the LSU defender tipped it to percy and he just outran everyone
That was the famous Spikes punt after the pick 6
The 80 yard run was vs SC. I love the video because you can see how fast Murphy is.
The funny thing about that Percy TD was it was on the 1st drive of the 2nd half. There was a promotion at the time if the Gators scored on their opening drive of the 2nd half people could take their ticket to get a jug of free windshield wiper fluid from one of the car stores in Gville. As soon as Percy hit the 2nd level, some in front of us started chanting "Wiper Fluid!" The whole student section joined in. Ah the memories of the Swamp.

He just watched a "Billy Jack-a-thon" on MeTV and was so impressed with the screenplay, the Shakespearian-quality of acting, and the complex moral messaging that he'll be wearing Billy Jack attire for the next week.

It was 3. I was there. A pick six to a fat guy, a fumble, and another pick, all leading to touchdowns. Hall waited till the score was tied to put Kerwin back in.
I've still got the game recorded on an old Betamax tape somewhere.Poor Rod. They never even let him live that day down at the baseball field. Stuff like yelling, "Good eye, Rod, good eye!" when he got a knockdown special that sent him sprawling into the dirt.
The time it took Kerwin to get in the endzone in the Auburn game is now up to a round at the Purple Porpoise and back.

I was at that one as well. Between that, the muffed punt and the announcement that UCLA upset USC it was awesome.

I forgot about the UCLA upset. I was sitting next to Ali Peek at the game--she was going nuts over everything Eric Wilbur was doing that game. One of the best Gator games that I can remember--almost as good as their next game. I went to that one as well.

I was there as well. Arky scored 21 straight points to take 21-17 3rd quarter lead, then fumbled a punt onto the end zone that Wondy-Pierre covered for a TD. Next series was the Harvin run. Once the game was in hand, Gator fans were all crowded in the stadium bathrooms (don’t know why but that was where the only TV’s were) watching UCLA upset USC and get us into the Title game. What a great season capped off by also being there for the OSU beat down for the championship in Phoenix.

I was prolly 8 at the time.He just watched a "Billy Jack-a-thon" on MeTV and was so impressed with the screenplay, the Shakespearian-quality of acting, and the complex moral messaging that he'll be wearing Billy Jack attire for the next week.

I used to watch that movie every time it came on. Loved it. Wanted to use the face-kick on somebody my whole life and never got the chance. (prolly never had the ability either).
