Gator Flop

Controversy

With little time left in the Florida v Miami game and 14 yards separating Reaves from the NCAA all-time passing yardage record, the Gators called multiple timeouts to prevent the Hurricanes from running the clock. The Gators defense then dropped down onto their stomachs in unison and allowed the Hurricanes to intentionally score.

Dubbed the "Gator Flop", the play allowed the Gators to get the ball back
so Reaves could break the record. On the next drive, Reaves found Carlos Alvarez for a 15-yard gain to break the record.

How did the gators
celebrate their win?

After the game, the entire Gators team jumped into the fountain at the Miami Orange Bowl that was formerly used for the Miami Dolphins' live mascot.
