I originally posted the following in the other discussion board and a later posting answered my question.

"I think that the better way to look at this play is for the officials to be looking for a time-out request from Billy Donovan as soon as Creighton scored so the Florida can set up an inbounds play. Correct me if I am wrong, but did not Florida request and was granted a time-out?"


The answer I received was that Florida had indeed requested and granted a time-out after Creighton scored.

Now, everybody knows what a stickler I am about the rules, but I think that the officials handled this situation correctly. I read somewhere that Billy Donovan is becoming Florida's cheif whinner now that Steve Spurier (a fraternity brother of mine) has left. I do not know about that, but I agree with my sister (a graduate of the Univ. of Miami), that the real reason the Florida stopped playing UM in football is that the Gators got tired of getting beat. Go 'Canes!
