Georgia was hit with the weirdest penalty ever against Tennessee when a Bulldog squirted water on an opposing player on the sideline
Georgia football discovered a new way to be penalized on Saturday against the Tennessee Volunteers: Squirting a water bottle.
Specifically, Bulldog receiver George Pickens was flagged 15 yards for unsportsmanlike conduct when he squirted water on Volunteer quarterback Jarrett Guarantano, who had been tackled near the Georgia sideline.
The joke is on Pickens, who gifted Tennessee 15 yards while cooling down the quarterback, which may have given him that extra boost he needed to toss a 27-yard touchdown a few plays later.
Georgia doesn’t need to make their matchup with Tennessee more difficult than it already is
If the Bulldogs were battering the Volunteers, the penalty might be laughed off as a silly moment in this crazy college football season. However, the matchup between No. 3 Georgia and No. 14 Tennessee was far from over.
The Volunteers took a 21-17 lead going into halftime because of the ensuing score on the drive.
Pickens hasn’t done enough to make up for it either. He had just one catch for 11 yards in the first half.
