Florida’s Spikes Suspended
November 2nd, 2009 ║ Posted By: John Pennington ║ Permalink ║ Tags: Florida
Brandon Spikes’ eye-gouge of Georgia running back Waushaun Ealey on Saturday has earned him a suspension from Urban Meyer.
Spikes will sit out the first half of Saturday’s game against Vanderbilt.
Meyer said that Spikes was retaliating after getting his eye poked earlier in the game.
“I don’t condone (what Spikes did). There’s no place on the field for that. We’re going to suspend him for the first half of the Vanderbilt game. That’s not him. But we love Brandon Spikes and the team is going to support him.
“It’s hard. I just spoke with him not too long ago. We’re Florida and we expect certain things. … I did speak to the (SEC) commissioner.”
