If you watched the video you would see an altercation was breaking out between the two teams where coaches from both teams were trying to break them up. Fournette then shoves TG. After that I'm perfectly ok with him giving Fournette a piece of his mind.

Watched it again and paid specific attention to Fournette the entire time. He shoves TG when the groups have started to disengage each other because the other UF coaches were controlling Gators, LSU coaches moving Tigers away. TG continued to follow LSU players instead of minding his guys (re: his business). I'm not saying Fournette isn't at fault for shoving someone, regardless of who they are. It's the unwritten law of sports that coaches corral their own players, you don't lay hands on or talk to opposing players unless it is absolutely necessary. TG's body language says to me that he wasn't trying to calm the situation at all.

Fournette ran in as things were ending. You can tell he almost sets eyes on TG, right away. It doesn't look like TG has his hands on anybody, or is trying to separate anyone. My guess is, TG was saying something that LF didn't like. He shoved TG not once, but twice. TG may not have acted like the adult in the situation, but a player still shoved a coach, and it isn't as if LF came running in to pull his guys away from the situation. Instead, he runs in, sets eyes on TG, and then shoves him twice.
Crazy! Anyway, that was a great video/angle of the altercation. Glad VT seems to be operating above that and with more maturity. I hope that continues.

I now understand what the TV guys mean when they say "that's a grown man right there." Fournette is HUgE. I can't complain too much when these 8 foot tall backs gain a couple bucks on us.

Yeah that's all on Fournette. As a player you can't shove and start stuff with a coach even if they're on the opposing team.
If you're a coach, WTF are you doing talking shit to an opposing player? He's the grown man. He should act like it.

Fournette wasn't supposed to play but now he is because of the scuffle.
More f'ed up sec crap!
My only comment is Fournette could probably break you in half, why are you picking that fight?

Love the Karma of him getting stood up on a goal line stand for Florida to win the game
Don't believe he got a carry on that sequence.
I'm sorry a player made physical contact with a coach and still played in the game? Bullshit.
That's the SEC for you.
Doesn't surprise me about Torrian. In his minde he is still a player and he acts like it.
Torrian didn't say "Hi" to Leonard's momma
It's whatever, glad to see him having success in Florida.
