About 10:49 Saturday night, all seemed to be well in the Swamp, Frankie Hammond had just caught a 2-point conversion to put Florida up by three with 3:29 left to go in the 4th quarter.  The defense bent a bit and let a third-down conversion get away from us, but the D finally stood tall and held to force a fouth down.  After setting up for the field goal, LSU called timeout.  I knew it, you probably knew it, Urban Meyer should have known it, the Mad Hatter was up to something.  All the fourth downs LSU converted in 2007 against us would tell you history was about to repeat itself.  The guy sitting next to me actually sad it out loud,”LSU is about to fake this field goal.”

Well, fast forward to the try and of course – a fake.  I was one of the few who thought it was at worst a forward pass. It was close; very close bounce. The replay officials have a difficult job, but couldn’t we have just a bit of luck being we were in the Swamp?  The same feeling you had watching the end of the 2007 game came rushing back.  I sat there thinking that Urban should go back to being special teams coach.  After watching Julio Jones return that kickoff for 47 yards, now this 4th down conversion, Urban may be doing this now. 

Three plays later, Tolliver was holding a TD pass from Lee and the Swamp was silent. The bounce heard ’round the SEC had the Mad Hatter smiling again – and maybe coaching for another year.
