I know the memory might be still too painful for some to watch, but I toughed it out.
Watching Grace dropping that ball on the first "trick play" really stings.
UNI did make the stop on Richmond's 4th down play, and the officials got the spot right on THAT play. But it really does look like Richmond got a terrible spot on THIRD down, I think he had actually gotten the first. Makes me wonder how things would have went if they had given them a first down spot then. Yes, Richmond might have been able to continue the drive and score. BUT, we were still playing aggressive defense at that point. If we had been able to stop them on the next set of downs, there would have been that much less time left. Though they could have possibly kicked a field goal. But of course.... it's just another "what if", and those don't do anyone any good.
Richmond's Fullback #35 Shawn White TOTALLY faked that "injury". He was fine when he got up after the hit, threw the ball to the official just fine. And then all of a sudden he was on the ground to stop the clock. There really should have been a penalty for that. Again, not sure if it would have changed the game outcome at all. But still.
"Prevent" defense is horrible, when you let the team march down the field 10-15 yards at a time. Ugh!
