If the refs acknowledged the fact Fla. was taking their time before the kick, enough to add another ten seconds to the game clock. Why was there no flag for doing so? Isn't this delay of game by the defense?

should have been.....no doubt about it. LSU did exactly what they should have done in that situation.

Should have been flagged

Agree. Muschamp was whining like he got screwed when really they screwed us out of 5 yards.

Seems like there is only a delay from the ref looking at the clock til UF snaps the ball. Everyone else gets delay of game rt when clock hits zero.

SEC Blog on ESPN.com posted an article in the morning links that explained everything.
While delay of game is the primary call, the ref also has the discretion to reset the clock. It worked out for the Tigers regardless, but it could have kept them from risking a bad exchange on the spike.

Ref was doing next best thing. Was signaling for clock to stop, starting at about 00:10-12 seconds. Clock operator didn't stop it until 00:03. Ref put 7 back on clock and started it when ball marked ready. Delay of game, probably appropriate but a
judgment call in that situation,
would have moved LSU 5 yards closer (obviously) and might have given LSU opportunity to spot ball in the middle instead of on right hash (not sure about that rule). Ref probably did fairest thing, given that delay of game arguably wasn't clear-cut.

It should have been and Muschamp whined about it in his postgame interview when the officials set the clock back to 10 seconds.
If kicking a ball (vs handing it to a ref) is a delay of game, then so is refusing to get up from a pile. If not, then it could be a way for teams to slow down the HUNH; just hold the guy down long enough to sub some players.
