Florida HC Dan Mullen on Marco Wilson's Shoe-Throwing Penalty: 'It's a Shame'

The Florida Gators saw their College Football Playoff hopes almost fade completely with a stunning 37-34 loss to the 4-5 LSU Tigers on Saturday after Marco Wilson's unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for throwing an opponent's shoe helped set up Cade York's winning field goal in the final 30 seconds.

It was a shocking development, but Florida head coach appeared to defend it by calling it a "football move":

"That's not the reason we lost the game," Mullen told reporters. "He's disappointed. It's a shame. I went back and watched the play. I don't think there was any intention to taunt.
