With a lead as safe as the gold at Fort Knox, Florida starting QB Tim Tebow threw two passes inside the final two minutes before Florida kicked a field goal -- thus kicking Miami while it was down.
The ESPN apologists said Urban Meyer was just playing the system, ringing up extra points to impress the pollsters. Puh-leeze. Yeah, like voters will be FAR more impressed with a 26-3 win instead of 23-3.
Have you ever seen a lower-blow move in recent years by an SEC member?
The stratagem was gutless, surely made possible by the fact that Meyer will be long gone from Gatorland when the teams play again, probably in 2013.
Worse, the field goal enabled the Gators to cover the point spread. Nothing nefarious here, in all likelihood, but even the appearance of strange play-calling that impacts the gamblers should be avoided.
Maybe some old Gator reminded Meyer that Miami kicked a last-second field goal in 1980 in a 31-3 Hurricanes' win in Gainesville. Hopefully, he has a more plausible excuse.
