Tennessee’s Rashaan Gaulden flops, gets Florida’s Brandon Powell ejected
Gaulden’s acting forced Powell off the field for the remainder of the game.
Florida junior wideout Brandon Powell was ejected in the fourth quarter of the Gators’ game against Tennessee on Saturday for throwing a punch at Tennessee defensive back Rashaan Gaulden after a play, but replays caused the call to come into question.
Video from an overhead camera showed Powell simply brushing the facemask of Gaulden after a standoff near midfield, which wouldn’t be grounds for an ejection. But Gaulden jumped into the air and swirled around, causing a referee to throw a flag and deem that a punch was thrown.
Tennessee would go on to get the ball from Florida and score to go up 38–21.
