"The excessive celebration rule has to change. Last season, Washington quarterback Jake Locker was victimized by a bogus excessive celebration penalty that may have cost the Huskies a chance to force overtime against BYU. Saturday, an equally ridiculous penalty on Georgia wide receiver A.J. Green helped LSU get favorable field position on its winning drive in the final minute. In neither case did the player taunt or disrespect his opponent in any way. So why throw the flag? You can blame the officials all you want, but they frankly shouldn't be put in a position to have to make judgment calls over what constitutes an excessive celebration. Change the rule to allow any impromptu celebrations that don't include taunting. And if you're going to keep the rule as it is now, at least reduce the penalty to 5 yards instead of 15 so it won't make nearly as much of an impact."
I kinda agree with this rule... also I was following the LSU Georgia game and that would have made a difference... I would have loved to see LSU lose
