The fallout continues, even four days after Florida beat Georgia.

On Wednesday, Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes suspended himself a full game for his attempt to gouge the eyes of Bulldogs’ tailback Washaun Ealey.

Florida coach Urban Meyer initially suspended Spikes for the first half of the upcoming Vanderbilt game, but Spikes said he didn’t, “want to be a distraction to the team.”

But more in the way of dirty play was added to the rivalry. Meyer sent tape of an alleged late hit by Georgia’s Nick Williams on quarterback Tim Tebow to the SEC.

Georgia coach Mark Richt admitted the hit could have drawn a penalty. Williams said there was no intent to harm Tebow.

“Well, I mean emotions are flying you know,” he said.

“I was just trying to make a play. Tebow is a great player and it’s obvious you better get him on the ground or he is gonna spark something. I was just trying to make a play. I didn’t think anything of it. I wasn’t trying to hurt him or anything.”

Meyer was criticized for suspending Spikes for only a half. Ealey said he didn’t believe Spikes should be suspended at all, saying, “We were just out there playing football.”

Still practicing at high level

Richt was pleased with the intensity Georgia practiced with Wednesday night. The thought of the Bulldogs’ current 4-4 record didn’t dampen the effort.

“The coaches were coaching hard and the players were working hard and competing,” he said. “It was a good, physical day, and I like what I saw. They got after it, and I saw no signs of giving in.”
