I saw this account of the TD catch to Victor Williams in the Courrier. Does this mean that the OFF CORD has an open MIC to the QBs through the game in college? Misprint, or was Grace that close to the sidelines?
I think that the NFL allows something like the first 30 seconds after the previous play. Then the radios are killed until the next play.

FALLING DOWN ON THE JOB: Williams was also involved in a key first-half play that basically changed on the fly.
With UNI holding a 10-3 edge in the second quarter, the Redbird pass rush flushed Grace from the pocket on a third-down pass play. Then Williams broke deep down the right sideline, and he hauled in a 50-yard TD strike from his quarterback at the 2-minute, 31-second mark of the second quarter.
The play didn't quite follow the plan.
"I was supposed to run a dig route," said Williams, who caught five passes for 93 yards Saturday. "I fell, and I got up. I saw (Grace) scrambling and I just pointed up the field and told him, 'throw it.' He let it go and it was a touchdown."
While Grace dodged trouble, he was getting some extra advice from the UNI bench and co-offensive coordinator Bill Salmon.
"It's a funny story," said the quarterback. "I was scrambling on the right side. It wasn't, obviously, a designed play to do that. ... I heard coach Salmon yell in my ear, 'look deep!' There was Victor Williams."
Grinning, Grace added, "Coach Salmon was right again."
