I just chuckled.

I was thinking the same thing. I liked that entire crew. You could see the U saying ---it was behind the line. They took their time and got it right. Unfortunately the game was on TV and so the announce crews wont give them the credit that they deserve.

Maybe I am missing something but why does it matter if it was behind the line? It was a forward pass to an originally ineligible receiver.

I think originally the U was telling them that you can't have ineligible downfield on a pass that is behind the line, so the calling official pointed out that the ineligible receiver touched the pass due to being "coverd up".
