I'm the umpire on jRod37's crew.

No, we were not on ESPN yesterday... I'm pretty sure ESPN wouldn't broadcast a 56-0 game.

As I remember seeing the play, the B player was upright, with only his feet touching the ground, in a good "breakdown" position ready to make the tackle.

I had two reactions: "Wow, I can't believe he managed to jump over the defender like that", followed almost immediately by "isn't that considered hurdling?"

If/when we do get a hold of the game tape, this is one of the plays I definitely want to review.
