The teacher has upset the master.
In a clash of Florida Heisman Trophy winners, seventh-seeded Steve Spurrier knocked off No. 2 Danny Wuerffel -- his former player when Spurrier was the Gators coach -- advancing to the Sweet 16 of the SEC Gridiron LIVE Greatest Player Tournament presented by Direct Auto Insurance.
But that wasn't the only instance of a No. 7 seed taking out a No. 2 as Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones beat Alabama's Lee Roy Jordan in the defensive side of the bracket's Bryant Region.
