Every time there was a sweep, a receiver TACKLED someone. I was the WH and all the flags I saw the activity for -- they were good flags.

Ironically enough, we worked a freshman game at 8:30 the next morning. One false start. One illegal shift. I worked umpire for the first time all season and I think I threw one flag the entire game.

Sounds like the team wasn't very well coached, and the fouls called themselves.
