Fortunately for both Brandon Powell and Florida, common sense in the league office prevailed.
In the fourth quarter of UF’s loss to Tennessee, Powell was flagged for an unsportsmanlike call and ejected from the game for seemingly throwing a punch at a Vols player. Because of SEC rules, Powell was also set to be suspended from the first half of this Saturday’s game against Vanderbilt.
The conference, however, overturned the suspension upon review, no doubt determining that Vols safety Rashaan Gaulden performed a flop of such magnitude that it would’ve made an international soccer star stand up and cheer, then bow down and claim they’re not worthy.bbornstein33: Tennessee flop CBS College Football: Florida at Tennessee https://t.co/aXNZDbWFv7 pic.twitter.com/ps1o9ToNj6

“We’ve received word that he’ll go,” head coach Jim McElwain said Wednesday. “Nothing from there, so he was full go from Monday afternoon on.”
Powell is currently second on the team with 15 receptions for 145 yards and two touchdowns.
