Give either the word Paige used, or the full name of the play.

2020: #6 Florida is 8-1 and tied with 3-5 LSU late in the Swamp; it's third down. A quick dump-off in the flat to the Tigers' Kole Taylor is stopped short of the sticks and will likely force LSU to punt. Except! There's a flag on the play. Referee: "After the play, unsportsmanlike conduct, #11 of the defense, throwing the LSU player's shoe 20 yards down the field. That's his first unsportsmanlike penalty of the game, automatic first down." Granted new life, LSU drives, kicks a field goal, and upsets Florida 37-34. What player was not the aforementioned #11, but rather Florida's #3, now a cornerback with the Arizona Cardinals?
Marco Wilson
