As Auburn and Florida were getting set for kickoff in their monstrous Top 10 battle on Saturday, things got chippy.
During pregame warmups Auburn running back Shaun Shivers got into it with a few Florida players as the two teams shared the field.
It starts off with a rather friendly facemask grab and classic game of ‘who’s going to let go first,’ but then things escalate pretty quickly. When things seem to be cooling off, Shivers catches the Florida players slipping and catches two of them with a wild double-punch.

They didn’t see it coming, not at all. Shivers nearly knocked the guy’s helmet off to his right. It’s one hell of a move from the running back.
The two Gators have at least three inches on the five-foot-seven Shivers and you can see the difference in his reach when he tried to go back to grabbing the guy’s facemask after he let go, but couldn’t reach it.
Shivers got the best of them though, that’s for sure. He definitely doesn’t play, or walk around a field during warmups, feeling like the shortest guy out there.
