Funny how something like that sticks with you for 30+ years! Hmm, maybe I should just get over it.  |
That's how we learn. I admit that if I were the wing on that side I probably would have missed it too. If nothing else, I would have been watching the receiver who deliberately ran out of bounds to make sure he wasn't going to sneak back in. I'd have to hope the BJ caught the other guy.
