And if you are saying you saw it clearly enough upon the first viewing, and at real speed, then I'd have to question your honesty.

I'm pretty certain I'm a good enough U1/U2 to see that if the opposing HC had talked to us about it pregame (which reportedly happened in the Iowa-Wisconsin game), or if we'd pregamed about it because our supervisor had sent something out on this type of play - team-specific or not. And in those cases, I'm seeing it and calling it.

That's a whole nother story. In that case the crew needs to be on the lookout.
