SEC says officials made correct call on LSU’s fake field goal
The SEC’s officials supervisor said the field crew made the correct call on LSU’s fake field goal in the fourth quarter of the Tigers’ 33-29 win at Florida on Saturday.
Rogers Redding, the conference’s head of officiating, said through an SEC spokesperson that all rules were applied correctly as LSU converted the trick play that led to its game-winning touchdown.
Here is a quick recap of the play, then we’ll get into the rule book explanation:
Florida is up 29-26 with :35 left. LSU lines up for an apparent 53-yard field goal. Holder Derek Helton takes the snap and blindly throws it backwards over his head from Florida’s 43-yard line as kicker Josh Jasper runs around him to the right. The ball appears to bounce on the 43 before Jasper collects it and starts running. He gets 5 yards, converting a fourth-and-3.
