But, seriously, folks:

SEC spokesman Charles Bloom...said the league reviewed the video, and "we believe that in a move to protect himself the umpire raises his arm."

"And moves forward and delivers a blow," he didn't add, but should have.

South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier on his weekly teleconference said, "He is trying to get out of the way. … Sometimes that will happen."

That's an odd way to get out of the way...by going into the way.
