"LSU tight end Kole Taylor’s shoe—a Nike Vapor Edge Pro 360, Size 14—at some point flew into the air to extend what would be LSU’s game-winning march. Stopped on third down, the Tigers would have punted back to the Gators. That is until Florida junior defensive back Marco Wilson was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct for hurling said shoe down the field. And if you wanted to know just how far he threw it, the officials gladly offered an exact number.
The flag, head official James Carter told the stadium, was for “throwing the LSU player's shoe 20 yards down the field.”
The shoe quickly made an imprint on social media. LSU’s lead sports information director tweeted a photo of it and so did the team’s equipment staff.
An LSU staff member delivered Taylor a message after the game.
“We are going to put your cleat,” he told him, “in the hall of fame.”
