Because I was at the game I could not see the penalty on the fumble/illegal touching penalty. It was too hard to make out on the jumbotron. Does anyone have some better info on it? The papers didn't say anything, sportcenter didn't even mention it, and I can't find any replay of it on the internet. Would like some discussion on this so I can sleep a little better .
On ESPN you could see a Zip reach out and slap at the ball before the snap.
You must've been watching ESPN2 because that's not what I saw.......... though it was very close!
Not sure that would've made a difference, but I've never seen a team try that hard that long! This is the new ZIPS! 2006 is looking better and better!!!!!
BTW my two favorite teams are Akron and Whoever else beats Marshall. Good luck Tigers, thanks for a great game!
In JD I Trust
I believe the penalty wasn't that he swiped at teh ball but the player was in the neutral zone from the very beginning.
Looking at the replays he was almost butting heads with the Memphis player.
