not TOO bad
first of all, all of the training that the apprentices in my area are given is in 4 man mechanics. Because of that, I was really unprepared for the sheer amount of ground that the U has to cover in 3man. but I did the best I could and ran a WHOLE LOT. just a couple of little problems plagued me other than that. second play of the game, my flag fell out of my back pocket. So after that I had it stuffed too far down, and I missed flagging two face masks because I couldn't get my flag out quickly enough, but luckily the R flagged both also. No IWs, but that doesn't mean it won't happen soon.
moving into the second half, I felt a lot more comfortable taking spots and moving quickly into the play, however pacing off penalties caused a little concern. even for something as simple as a five yard penalty after 1 and 10, I was hoping that the Linesman would move to the five yard spot on the chains and help me out, however that never happened.
overall, I was completely overwhelmed by how much I was responsible to watch over, it will get better, but damn. my next game is tomorrow, I'm the U in a four man JV game.
