the delay of game at the 40 on 4th and 1 with 2:12 seconds left. . You line up and run the clock down to 1 or 2 seconds and snap the punt as we all knew CMU was going to send the punt block rush in and maybe they mis-time the snap and we get them on an off-side penalty.

As it was they tip the punt and thank god Riley Dixon has a very strong leg into the ball to get it inside the 10.
 
I'm guessing the staff knows Riley a little better then we do. Maybe in his past kicks they have seen something from that distance and wanted to give them an extra 5 yards? It could have just been a bone head call as well, we shall never know.

I'm starting to think it may have been the CMU coach's decision not to go for 2 at the end of the game. They ended up losing anyway. The way they were moving the ball in the second half and having us on our heels after that last drive they probably get the 2.
