If you're going to go to the trouble of quoting the rule, don't omit the line that immediately precedes what you cited as the rule
I did in the other thread about this. That actually supports the case even more so that this was a ridiculous call. Since that phrase opens up literally EVERYTHING to potentially be adjudicated as a taunting penalty, the referees are then expected to exercise careful judgement in what they are going to include in their definition of taunting beyond what is explicitly spelled out in the rules. To include a literally split-second action that is almost impossible to notice without the aid of slow motion technology seems to be stretching the intent of this rule, particularly as "excessive" celebration.

This.
It was a horrible call. Again, this will be addressed during the week at the conference level. Promise.

It had nothing to do with excessive celebration and everything to do with taunting. It's really not that difficult, and you summed up the taunt pretty well in another post.
You also need to understand that when he looked at the UF player, he was also looking directly at the guy who put the flag on him. I'm going to guess it was far easier to see from that angle than it was from the sky cam from behind the play.
He's just lucky it didn't become 30 when he went into the crowd.
