Thanks to the guy in Sec. 129 who alerted the bench we has 12 on

[The General]

This happened... late in the 4th, Pitt had the ball. Coming out of the time out, a guy in section 129 counted 12 defensive players on the field and with the help of other fans got the attention of Cuse players on the bench who relayed the message to the coaches. Seconds before action was to resume, the 12th man, (#6 maybe?) came sprinting off as the coaches yelled to him.

This seriously happened. Felt like I was at a JV game and someone's dad knew his kid shouldn't be out there. This is Syracuse Football '13...

But seriously, hell of a coaching move by the fan.

If this is true General, what the hell do they have all these managers doing? The ones that catch the kickers balls during half time, can't they have one kid that watches the clock and just the clock to make sure everything is fine and another to count players?

Almost as good as if Mr. Excitement said, "Cuse lining up for the fake field goal attempt"
The above didn't happen...just a joke

I wonder if the Pitt coach saw it or he just got lucky?

 

[retro44]

yes it did happen and no. 6 did come out.... I am in 128

loeb waited to snap the ball, hell 87 was on my sideline and I didn't notice him as he was about a yard from the sideline... great call, poor execution

It's believable b/c we got that same penalty coming out of a timeout in a previous game
