The correct call. Did you listen to the announcers explain the rule change? In NFL and high school it would be enforced on the try or the kickoff, not in college.
That's unsportsmanlike conduct? Are you kidding me? For a start, the rule's stupid. Everyone needs to grow a pair. Secondly, the enforcement was ridiculous. That is not unsportsmanlike conduct. Holding your arms out for half a second? How about we just purge all emotion from the game? This enforced protecting of feelings that so many colleges are succumbing to is the biggest load of crap I've ever heard.
WTF?? Let me guess next they'll decide not to keep score so no body goes home a loser with their feelings hurt. next year why not ban tackling for being to dangerous.
I actually went to high school with Brad, he's one of the nicest guys ive ever known and he was never one to do something like that unless he was just really excited. I can guarantee that he didn't do it out of malice towards the other teammates
Everybody says stupid stuff like this and then a player on the team you hate the most does it against YOUR team, and you want one of YOUR team's players to exact revenge on him. THAT is why the rule exists. Incidentally, the player CAN celebrate. The rules committee (made up of coaches, by the way) want him to celebrate WITH HIS TEAMMATES on the sideline, not out on the field where his actions may be misconstrued. That is such a simple concept. It is amazing you can't grasp it without explanation.
@@ashlogan2049 How can you misconstrue a celebration? Wow. If you have to ask that question there's no answer I can give you that will satisfy you. Try to get field access to some high school football games next season, particularly ones involving good teams vs. not so good teams. You'll get a real education. Better yet, just go to a game in which you have no rooting interest. Watch one half from one side and the other half from the other. Don't watch the game so much as try to pay attention to the comments from those in the stands.
I agree with this rule... However I do NOT agree with that call. That was in no way, shape, or form an egregious taunt by the punter. You robbed him of his moment and LSU of an amazing touchdown. Absolutely pathetic.
Especially being an ex Aussie Rules Football player where this type of showboating is almost encouraged and same with "soccer" in England where fans chant for minutes on end about how shit the other team is etc.. It just takes the fun out of it, it was obvious that he just pulled off an amazing play and the adrenaline kicked in that tad bit too early. It's stupid to not encourage players to take risks like these and moments that leave your jaw almost on the flaw
+francobobfred That's why I said it's a BS rule. I couldn't blame the officials for enforcing an idiotic rule passed by a bunch of taxpayer overpaid college administrators who never played the game.
I know we were winning but it takes some serious balls to dial up a trick play on 4th and 15. LSU may have the only kicker to ever get called for taunting. That was amazing alone.
I'm in favor of penalizing excessive celebration. Key word "excessive". That doesn't mean you should penalize them for any show of happiness that they just made a huge play. What he did was hardly excessive.
This looked to me as a punt/run option play. Besides of the stupid rule and call, it looks like Wing had either the option to punt it, if Florida rushed, or to run with it, if they went all for the return like here. Great playcall and decision by LSU and Wing, destroyed by an aweful rule and enforcement
What, exactly did Brad Wing do?... I couldn't really tell what it was that he did. I remember watching the replay of this game, but, I missed the part where the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty came into effect.
The dumbest thing about this was the very next week, some Michigan St. player did an even more egregious taunt during a pick-six and it wasn't called back.
that is the most absurd thing I've seen in quite a while. more evidence that colleges need to provide a "safe space," because god forbid anyone ever get their feelings hurt.
The only time in the history of college football a fake punt resulted in a TD and was taken away by a taunting penalty. get your feelings hurt by an australian punter florida lol
I really want to know who decided to make this rule. They're gonna call back a touchdown because someone celebrated? Who cares if it was before he scored...
They probably studied Florida's punt coverage in film and gave Wing the ability to make the call if Florida bailed out like this. I mean, look at the field. Pretty low-risk call. My 6 year old could have run that in. That said, it was Les Miles against Florida. He loves pulling this crap, with or without a reason and a first-quarter 14 point lead in college football is nothing.
Crap Sanders a lot of ST coordinators call fakes on tons of punts but they are rarely carried out because it like a read option, u only keep it if it's there
Not a LSU fan but they could've atleast just enforced the penalty on the kickoff if anything. What a terrible rule. It's not like taunting prevented anyone from making the tackle. No matter what he would've scored so why take away the TD.
+Fiercer23 well if you look at the video it looked like he was going to punt it but when he looked up he saw all the players already running back so he took off
Bad call I see nothing wrong he stuck the ball out how is tht offensive to the other team unless if they wanted Florida to win but idk and just tack o the 15 at the end I hate tht new rule
2024, watching ×fL / usfL and they referenced Brad Wing. Wanted to double check it was him, and typed in lsu fake punt. ✔️ I remember watching this live and to this day, thinking at the time, hey cool play, bad call who would have thought _ that boring October 2011 game and me on my couch would still be getting positive vibes...
All right, someone help me out here... my understanding was the whole rationale for spot fouls was so a player couldn't use a penalty to his advantage. Say a quarterback is 14 yards behind the line and he's about to get sacked. If he commits intentional grounding from that distance, it's a spot foul, so he doesn't gain any advantage from throwing the ball away. But how does it make any sense to make unsportsmanlike conduct a spot call? What does this serve? _Who_ wanted this? Also, what is the back judge doing? If anything, it should've been the line judge making the call; he had the best view of Wing.
1:54 "It's supposed to be an AGGREGIOUS call that stops that" It looked like a pretty mild act of celebration to me. Watch out, LSU, like all winners, everybody will be gunning for you. Even, it seems, the officiating committee. Geaux TIGERS!
@GerbCD that's a really good point. that should've been the highlight of his college football career. but his moment of glory was sabotaged because he got excited. I wish I could like this 100 more times.
This guy is one of my favorite players at LSU. He handles his business and has to fit right in with the team, you can tell they respect him for all of those kick ass punts.
What's funny is that this play will echo into the immortal ethos of college football eternity not because of the epic touchdown but because of the sacrilegious result of that being a no. Touchdown
Nobody looked back to make sure he kicked the ball. Also, kicking the ball makes a sound, and nobody seemed to notice they didn't hear the ball get kicked.
excessive happiness on the punter
Absolutely, positively the worst call in sporting history.
Welcome to 2021.
Lol no that would be Rams Vs Saints but Louisiana hurting from both
The correct call. Did you listen to the announcers explain the rule change? In NFL and high school it would be enforced on the try or the kickoff, not in college.
😂 perfect call, it's unsportsmanlike conduct. Meaning respect your opponents. Act like you been there before
@@mattfaulk8724dumb rule, right call. The NCAA is useless
That's unsportsmanlike conduct? Are you kidding me? For a start, the rule's stupid. Everyone needs to grow a pair. Secondly, the enforcement was ridiculous. That is not unsportsmanlike conduct. Holding your arms out for half a second? How about we just purge all emotion from the game? This enforced protecting of feelings that so many colleges are succumbing to is the biggest load of crap I've ever heard.
+Toby Lee amen to that
In a couple of years, football is gonna be like, "During the play, unsportsmanlike conduct on the receiving team for smiling. 20 yard penalty"
"Second penalty, player is disqualified"
unnecessary roughness: touching other plays. Suspended for the rest of the season
I agree. Lets make Sarcastaball a thing. Randy was right.
Get Trolled Bro South Park reference.
tim duncan got ejected from a game for laughing on the bench.
tim duncan was a NBA basketball player..
Aww, c'mon probably the punter's only chance to score a TD in his whole career.
And he done goofed it up
Don't Matter. Florida still got their Butt s Kicked.
Well, that's not the officials' concern.
It WAS his only one, freaking sucks
For real. Brad Wing TD taken back for spreading his wing.
Who would've thought the first person to commit this penalty would be a punter
Wow they really took a touchdown from a punter this is a once in a lifetime feeling for him. This rule is pathetic
+Anthony Garcia Eh. He was probably still ecstatic that he STILL outran an entire FLORIDA GATORS defense.
+DarkVengeance101 you mean special teams
Lmao all he did was open his arms WOW HOW TF IS THAT UNSPORTSMANLIKE
WTF?? Let me guess next they'll decide not to keep score so no body goes home a loser with their feelings hurt. next year why not ban tackling for being to dangerous.
Watch South Park's episode; "Sarcastaball". It portrays this bullshit so clearly.
+Steel Hime yeah I've seen it and you are right it does
It's my favorite episode. "I LOOOOOVE Sarcastaball!!! Ooooohhhhh!!!" Hilarious.
I actually went to high school with Brad, he's one of the nicest guys ive ever known and he was never one to do something like that unless he was just really excited. I can guarantee that he didn't do it out of malice towards the other teammates
Jesus died for your sins and rose from the dead 3 days later so that you may have eternal life, believe in who He is and what He did to be saved
The greatest play that never counted. GEAUX Tigers
Wyatt B 123 your 100% correct
Brad Wing was a beast, such bullshit he got that penalty lol.
The taunting rule is BS If you ask me, there should be no reason a player can't celebrate for scoring
DaKid Rae plus if he's able to spend time celebrating then good for him for beating everyone else so much that he can slow down and look back
DatDude Rae he hadn't scored yet.

that is a load of crap

I disagree
@@patrickmahomie7556 well you're objectively incorrect
I absolutely agree with your observation. That was not an egregious taunt. And not because I’m Australian

A classic that brings me back, to this day
You know you're having a bad game when the other team's punter is taunting you.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. In the history of college football, this was absolutely the BIGGEST BULLSHIT CALL of all time!
I'm in favor of penalizing excessive celebration. Key word "excessive". That doesn't mean you should penalize them for any show of happiness that they just made a huge play. What he did was hardly excessive.
I was mad then, I'm still mad now.

Man those two blocks were awesome
I'm a UF fan through and through. He deserved that touchdown.
that is the most absurd thing I've seen in quite a while. more evidence that colleges need to provide a "safe space," because god forbid anyone ever get their feelings hurt.
God forbid anyone having passion about a play that they just made
Can the whole "safe space" meme just die already. This is just football having stupid ass rules.
Dumbass coaches wanted the ruke
i’ve never seen such perfect blocking
I remember watching this on T.V. back when LSU was unstoppable.
beastin on the giants right now
The only time in the history of college football a fake punt resulted in a TD and was taken away by a taunting penalty. get your feelings hurt by an australian punter florida lol
He was just spreading his wings out
When your punters TD gets called back for taunting, thats when you know you have swag!
Let them play, that's called taunting? Please.
Most bogus call ever...
- an Alabama fan.
thats how you know its bogus lmao takes a lot for alabama or lsu fans to admit anything good towards the other
The punter is first player to have a touchdown taken off the board for in play taunting. That day he was pissed but today the penalty makes it cooler.
That's when you know your having a good day...
That is bs...whatever happened to high stepping into the endzone...that's y I don't watch college ball
he was just moving his arms to get his balance back!! :P
Not taunting, he was just excited.
"Well, yeah, uh, well I was asked if, I HUHUHUH, that's my best shot!" lmao
I really want to know who decided to make this rule. They're gonna call back a touchdown because someone celebrated? Who cares if it was before he scored...
+Ryan J The coaches wanted this rule. 1:43
That's a stupid ass rule. You're allowed to do that in the NFL. So what are they trying to teach the college kids?
GameAddict51 g
@FershLicka what the commentator meant is that in australia we have this sport "RUGBY" where players does this flick passes.
Now he shanks punts for a living
Destroying football
Wow, just for holding out your arms, really?
God damn I remember watching this… gotta have some context ref! The punter just ran it 60 yards for a TD, a legit natural reaction
I'm impressed with the blocking.
what the hell!!!!! dumbest penalty ever! how is this allowed!
The real question is, why did they run a fake punt on 4th and 15 when they were up by 2 scores?
They probably studied Florida's punt coverage in film and gave Wing the ability to make the call if Florida bailed out like this. I mean, look at the field. Pretty low-risk call. My 6 year old could have run that in.
That said, it was Les Miles against Florida. He loves pulling this crap, with or without a reason and a first-quarter 14 point lead in college football is nothing.
Why not? They can get a bigger lead
Crap Sanders a lot of ST coordinators call fakes on tons of punts but they are rarely carried out because it like a read option, u only keep it if it's there
+Crap Sanders Miles had told Wing he had the okay to run on any punt, if he, in his own judgement felt the recieving team had retreated to quickly.
Crap Sanders because fuck florida
A football commercial talking about Viagra is still more intense than a soccer match
Back in 2014 I met Odell and the first thing he said to me was "Ever seen a punter score a TD?" And then he introduced me to Brad
Bs what's next every player has to go out with tampons
Football is getting soft with all these rules
Let's push for a 15 second celebration time after big plays
One of my favorite plays in football history, especially since it’s against the least classy team in the SEC. These refs are some ❄️❄️❄️
Not a LSU fan but they could've atleast just enforced the penalty on the kickoff if anything. What a terrible rule. It's not like taunting prevented anyone from making the tackle. No matter what he would've scored so why take away the TD.
lol this fake punt was awesome i dont even think it was supposed to be fake but it worked out perfectly
every fake punt is planned.
+Fiercer23 well if you look at the video it looked like he was going to punt it but when he looked up he saw all the players already running back so he took off
+Tyrone Kuleman I see where you're coming from but if you look at how the blockers set up they knew he was going left
+Fiercer23 Tell that to Clemson.
it wasnt actually planned, wing said so him self
Did anyone else notice that when 88 laid down that block, there was an explosion sound?
This is when you rally the entire crowd to rush the field...naked.
Bad call I see nothing wrong he stuck the ball out how is tht offensive to the other team unless if they wanted Florida to win but idk and just tack o the 15 at the end I hate tht new rule
Missed the best part of that commentary: Who would have imagined that the first time we see that penalty, it would be against an Australian punter?
egregious rule for a gorgeous play
Wow what a BADASS punter!
I've been watching this play in a lot of highlight videos for years and only today i'm learning that the play doesn't count xD
In Rugby we had that rule also.
2024, watching ×fL / usfL and they referenced Brad Wing.
Wanted to double check it was him, and typed in lsu fake punt. ✔️
I remember watching this live and to this day, thinking at the time, hey cool play, bad call
who would have thought _ that boring October 2011 game and me on my couch would still be getting positive vibes...
Give that man the score. he's a punter, he's never gonna score again
Just pure swagger
And it's been so publicized and dissected that now it is TAUNTING!
Referees: Fucking Louisiana over since day 1
this is a dance move now...lets all do the brad wing!
Great call all these years later. Go Gators
Really wasn't; nothing egregious about his celebration in my opinion.
All right, someone help me out here... my understanding was the whole rationale for spot fouls was so a player couldn't use a penalty to his advantage.

man, that's harsh. that was a good play
@lebbeus There are two number 38's on the team. The camera focused on the wrong one towards the end.
How come it says near the end of the video on his jersey, Howard?
@FershLicka i think he meant celebrating beyond the 'endzone'
Absolutely heinous call
Lead blocker is a savage. took out several defenders
@jakedroid Not sure if this just a coincidence, but the kicker is also Austrailian.
how did i get here from a video of rick killing shane in walking dead?!
1:54 "It's supposed to be an AGGREGIOUS call that stops that" It looked like a pretty mild act of celebration to me.
Watch out, LSU, like all winners, everybody will be gunning for you. Even, it seems, the officiating committee.

if they put the ball at where the thing started. why did they put it on the 20?
This guy is one of my favorite players at LSU.
He handles his business and has to fit right in with the team, you can tell they respect him for all of those kick ass punts.
You can't even see the arm spread until they slow it down!
What's funny is that this play will echo into the immortal ethos of college football eternity not because of the epic touchdown but because of the sacrilegious result of that being a no. Touchdown
How are there two number 38 players? One is Brad Wing - the touchdown guy and the other is DJ Howard shown at 1:58.
the only guy that saw the punter run it got layed out
I was unaware of that new rule. Super stupid. Taunting is one of the great things about football.
Nobody looked back to make sure he kicked the ball. Also, kicking the ball makes a sound, and nobody seemed to notice they didn't hear the ball get kicked.
You think you can hear a ball being kicked in Death Valley? 💀
They were wrong for that and they know it. He didn’t do anything but be amazed he made it to the end zone.
