CFB fans lost it after Florida blows game to LSU after being penalized for throwing a shoe (!)

“Unsportsmanlike conduct … throwing the LSU player’s shoe 20 yards down the field.”

Florida – LSU is always a heated SEC rivalry, but the game took a turn for the absolutely ridiculous on Saturday night during the fourth quarter. With the game tied at 34, #6 Florida appeared to force LSU into a fourth down … until Florida’s Marco Wilson picked up an LSU player’s shoe and CHUCKED it down the field.

What would have been a punting situation resulted in a first down for LSU, and then one of the greatest official calls in college football history, when the official turned on his mic and announced that Florida’s defender was being penalized for “throwing the LSU player’s shoe 20 yards down the field.”

The ref clarified how many yards he threw the shoe! That’s absolutely incredible.

LSU then made a long field goal, and ended up winning the game 37-34, thus most likely ending Florida’s chances to make the College Football Playoff.

OK here’s the throw:

And here’s the official’s call:

College football fans were absolutely floored by what happened.
