GAINESVILLE — Alabama quarterback John Parker Wilson tossed the football to the official in the end zone, put his index finger and thumb to his helmet and made a collect call to the LSU fan base.
Wilson wanted it to pay after his leaked cell phone number had stopped working due to the volume of calls and text messages he received during game week.
Florida coach Jim McElwain, then Wilson's offensive coordinator, recalled the moment with a laugh this week. McElwain is no fan of foolish penalties — Wilson was flagged for 15 yards — but loves road wins, and few visiting teams walk away from Tiger Stadium with one.
