[gatortalk] McElwain: SEC overturns Powell's first-half suspension

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida receiver Brandon Powell won't face a suspension for the Vanderbilt game following an ejection against Tennessee for "throwing a punch."

In the second half, Powell lightly threw his arm out in the air and Tennessee defensive back Rashaan Gaulden flopped as if he'd been shot (you can watch the clip above). Refs ejected Powell, which would typically cause him to be suspended from the first half of the following game.

But coach Jim McElwain said he won't be suspended against Vanderbilt this weekend after the SEC office reviewed the call.

"We've received word that he'll go," McElwain said. "Nothing from there, so he was full go from Monday afternoon on."

Powell, a junior, has recorded 15 catches for 145 yards and two touchdowns on the season.
