The Saturday football game between the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs was exciting and controversial because of Gators’ linebacker Brandon Spikes eye gouging that was caught on camera.

During the game, the camera caught Spikes busy doing an unsportsmanlike act against Georgia running back Washaun Ealey while in a pile-up.

Eye-gouging is the act of pressing or tearing the eye using the fingers, other bodyparts, or instruments. Eye-gouging involves a very high risk of eye injury, such as permanent eye loss. It is disallowed in combat sports, what more to football?

Florida Gators beat Georgia Budlddogs , 41-17.

Brandon Spikes (born September 3, 1987 in Shelby, North Carolina) is an American football linebacker for the Florida Gators. He is considered one of the best linebackers in college football and is expected to be a high draft pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.

If Spikes did in fact gouge the eyes of the UGA RB Ealey, why didn’t Ealey come out of the pile raising pure hell?

Also, in his post game interview, Ealey said he and Spikes had words throughout the game but NO MENTION WHATSOEVER OF ANY EYE GOUGING.

Where is the complaint from the victim himself?

Looking closer at the video, Spikes fingers appear to be higher than Ealey’s eyes like Spikes is trying to rip off his helmet which would make more sense because Spikes had his helmet ripped off once and knocked off on another play.

Bottom Line….if Spikes was gouging his eyes, Ealey would have made a scene right there and then.
