Fair enough but if that's the case, based on the rule book, it would be nice to know why. If they just plain old missed them then hey, that's the way life goes. We all do but I'm pretty sure we all try not to.

JRut, I think we as a group analyze everything critically on this board not just travels. It just happens to be the violation that's called - and possibly seen - most often other than a ball going OOB. It's not some sort of tragedy or conspiracy. There are just some plays where we wonder how it was missed.

I'm just baffled why the two travel discussions - this and the Syracuse/Indiana clip - have become so argumentative. Either the players did or they didn't. Some plays may have more debate than others based on camera angles but to add on to what BayState said in the other thread the goal of posting these is to get better.
