No. 1Florida 2009, fourth quarter

If you are a Hog fan and were conscious during this game, you knew this would be No. 1 on this list. The 2009 game against Tim Tebow and the No. 1 ranked Florida Gators made Marc Curles public enemy No. 1 in Arkansas for the first time.

The Razorbacks led by seven in the fourth quarter with eight minutes on the clock. Tebow underthrew a pass in the endzone from the 36-yard line but got bailed out with a bad pass interference call on Ramon Broadway.

On the very next play, Malcolm Sheppard was hit with an insane personal foul penalty. Florida's right tackle Marcus Gilbert tried to cheapshot Sheppard 15-20 yards away from the play. When Sheppard lowered his shoulder to brace for the hit, Gilbert was the one who ended up on the ground. Somehow, the officials called the foul on Sheppard. Florida scored the tying touchdown on the very next play.
