Message: [QUOTE="sufandu, post: 5520722, member: 874"] People that generally have accurate inside info have said it wasn't close. Watch the safety (I don't think Rickie did). He had it read the whole way. Even without Rickie's arm getting hit, he probably makes a play on the ball. Crap call by the refs, but Rickie's inaccurate throw put Cook in a bad position. He did that a number of other times during the game, including the play where Cook nearly had his knees taken out. I agree that Duke blew it up. Maybe it was a run play, but then somebody should have clued Willis in. If they weren't faking the handoff, it was the most halfhearted attempt at taking the ball from the QB that I've ever seen. Regardless, we wouldn't have been penalized for illegal man downfield. All the lineman were no more than 3 yards past the LOS. Even if we had, it's a 5 yard loss and replay the down. Taking the sack was a 7 yard loss and we lost the down. [/QUOTE]
