coach urban meyer's fourth-ranked 2007 florida gators played host to coach tommy tuberville's unranked auburn tigers. tigers quarterback brandon cox led the tigers to an early 17–3 lead, but gators quarterback (and eventual heisman trophy winner) tim tebow and all-purpose back and receiver percy harvin led a comeback to tie it at 17. the tigers had one chance to win in regulation, as kicker wes byrum attempted a potentially game winning 45-yard field goal with four seconds left and nailed it. but meyer had called a timeout at the last possible moment to ice the kicker before the snap had taken place. so, after the timeout, byrum had to try it again. after successfully making the field goal again as time expired to upset florida 20–17, he taunted the florida head coach and crowd with a few mock gator chomps.
