Missouri appeared poised to take a 21-0 lead at Florida in the second quarter, but the officials called a phantom block in the back on Bud Sasser.
Check out the video for yourself.
Sasser is working against Gators CB Vernon Hargreaves III in the end zone when QB Maty Mauk tucks and runs for no gain on first-and-goal from the 1. But the officials called a 10-yard illegal block on Sasser, who may not have even laid a finger on Hargreaves.
The penalty led to a 25-yard field goal by Andrew Baggett, but squandered a chance to extend Missouri’s lead even more.
Thats about the worst block in the back penalty I've ever seen
