Prior to the start of Florida and LSU, the two teams got into a bit of a scuffle that seemed like just standard pregame yapping that didn't escalate into anything crazy.

And yet a video that was in plain sight the whole time has received a second look following the suspension of Florida RB coach Jabbar Juluke, and it highlights how he wound up getting sidelined for three games.

Jabbar Juluke slaps an LSU player

Prior to the game on Saturday, ESPN showed a quick clip of the two teams on the sideline, and at the time, it looked like standard pushing and shoving that no one took notice of.

But 104.5 ESPN, based out of Baton Rouge, reposted the clip of the altercation, and it became clearer why Juluke wound up getting suspended.

If you found it hard to spot what Juluke specifically did, Cam Parker of Gators Illustrated zoomed in and slowed down the video to show that it is clear Juluke slapped a player to set things off.

Juluke is considered one of the strongest assistants on Billy Napier's staff and the running back room has been one of the strongest units for the Gators.

Napier was asked about Juluke at his SEC Teleconference and how the Gators would operate moving forward:

"Jabbar will be with us all the way up until we depart for the stadium. So we'll absorb his game day responsibilities amongst the staff.

I was not on the field during the unit warm-up. So in general, I think just misrepresentative of the league, of the university, of our organization as a whole. Jabbar has taken ownership of that. As you would expect from Jabbar, he's been first class in terms of how he's handled it.

We worked with the SEC office and the university administration to resolve it. He'll serve his time here and the discipline that comes with making a tough decision. Jabbar's got a body of work in his career. He made a mistake, and I think the big thing here is that got to continue to grow and learn from things like this and be a good example to others, and he's done that so far."

Florida takes on Miami this Saturday on the road.
