live ball... woulda been a Gator TD. --- John Vega zebu...@gate.net wrote: On the opening kick-off in the SEC Championship game, the ball bounced untouched into the end zone. An Alabama player watched it fly by. It began to roll to a stop in the end zone and some UF players approached it like it was a dead ball. The ref then whistles the play over, before it is touched. Am I mistaken, or was that still a live ball? Had the UF player touched it, would it have been a touchdown? How is that any different than a on-side kick? I even re-watched the play on Tivo, the ball never went out of bounds and was never touched by either team. -Zeb --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -~--~~~~--~~--~--~---

Incorrect. In college, once the ball reaches the end zone, with out a player in control, it is a touchback. Stupid rule, but it is in there. Ken K.
