I think they probably do this so that nothing can happen with their call (being overturned), but it seems to me they could be asking for trouble if they make a signal and don't accept help from their crew.

I don't have a problem with the U killing the play when the ball falls at his feet. I do it myself from time to time.
But I do agree regarding the signals. That's a big non-no in my area.but I constantly see it in the NFL. What happens when the U comes firing in with a false start and the LJ runs in with a NZ infraction? Not good, no mater how you slice it.
