My bad - I assumed the OP meant what he said. Your assumption makes more sense.

I echo the "you were at a college scrimmage and this was a point of contention" question, as this is extremely straightforward.

Does PU have R2's touch in 3-man? (I agree in 2-man, but college scrimmage, I'm thinking it's 3, and doesn't U3 have that touch?)
