2000 #4 Florida Gators vs. #9 Tennessee Volunteers

The 4th ranked Gators travel to Knoxville to take on the 9th ranked Volunteers. Verne Lundquist and Todd Blackledge have the call for CBS. I do not own anything in this video.

[@PENS68]

As a gators fan gaffney's catch was controversial, but there was still 14 seconds on the clock so florida would've had at least 2 more plays to score if the pass was ruled incomplete

[@willhopson1277]

PENS68 well In fairness to tenn fans it was probably one more try. We probably kick it on 4th down 3

Caldwell game-winner called back for inelligible receiver downfield was bogus.

[@leekeyser1968]

Looks to me like Gaffney catches the pass, has possession for about 1 second, and then is stripped by UT players right hand. IN the open field, that's a fumble. In the endzone, that's a TD....

[@InAllKindsOfWeather]

Let's not get carried away. Sure that call was horrible, but so was the call four years later. If penalties are reviewable in 2004 then Florida has another win against Tennessee. You see how that works?

[@jasoncase9481]

Well we got our in 2004 but dann I was pissed

[@InAllKindsOfWeather]

Yes it was. But I don't feel bad at all because of an even worse piece of officiating 4 years later that worked the other way. Also, that was second and goal. Tennessee can't say it cost them the game because the Gators had a chance to either win it on third down or tie it with a field goal on fourth down.

@ Marvin Cohen that's funny we talking about college and you talking about the NFL. Really dude

[@mvptitans09]

While I don't think that was a TD at the end, Tennessee's inability to score TDs first half and get a substantial lead plus giving up a 90 yd drive (TD or not) in the last 2 minutes shows they didn't deserve the W.

Remember this game...Great finish....Always tough winning in Knoxville...Tennessee fans crying about getting screwed when we drove 90 yards down the field for TD on them....Plus Vols kicked 5 FG's which was costly...Like Todd Blackledge said in broadcast [@ 4:41] u have to score TD's to beat Gators and Tenn. didn't

This game shouldn’t have even been close. We should have won by like 20 or more. Totally dominated em, just couldn’t finsih

[@DWM2309]

This right here is an example to Tennessee and to anybody who plays football Touchdowns win games.How many times was Tennessee not able to get in the end zone from close range.

[@tennsmoothie]

I just now, 20 years later, watched the replay of Gaffney's TD at the end. I didn't realize how obvious the drop was. What was the official thinking ? If you had video reviews back then, that call would have been reversed easily.

[@DudeEggs]

If you see the front angle it's a catch with two feet down in the end zone which is immediately knocked out of his hands by the defender. It likely stands as called after review.

[@carltonreese1804]

The TD call for Gaffney was wrong, but the ineligible receiver call on Caldwell's game-winning TD several plays before was completely bogus. Watch the replay in slow motion and you will see no ineligible players downfield at all. Game ended as it should have.

[@djrockytopjones]

If replay was available in 2000 Tennessee has another win against Florida. That's by far the worst call in college football history. Any fan from either team can admit that. But in a way it was good it just adds to the rivalry. Tennessee and Florida is my favorite rivalry by far.

[@jasoncase9481]

Dale Jones Plus it shows why instant replay is needed in college football so this abysmal mistake won't be repeated

[@lukemccardle2379]

I agree he did not have possession of that ball.

[@Ghostmotorfinger]

I was at this game. Bullshit finish... regardless who you root for. the post game was nothing else short of pure hatred by those in the stadium. I saw people fight, objects and cups being thrown. Pure insanity.

Stopping Travis Henry on 3rd and 1 was pivotal. Watch 11:31; if Tennessee would have converted they probably would have won.

[@inbreadfred4293]

Good catch, Gaffney!

Either way, UF drove 90+ yards and won the game. No excuse for Tennessee, they lost. I wish this game would get competitive again. Every year UF destroys Tennessee it seems like.

How in the hell was that a touchdown?

atruhata4real because it crossed the plain. Just like with any football player who.scores. all you have to do is cross the plain. Dont matter if you fumble or happen to let the ball go.

as a florida fan i must say......that was not a catch at all. How they ruled thsat a catch i have no idea.

There was no expanded replay back then to review the winning touchdown. By my judgment, I would have ruled this an incomplete pass, meaning that my Gators would have one more chance at the end zone (and if not, have to settle for the field goal).

Yeah definitely a bad call but given all things probably a 75 % chance they score on the next two plays
