Alabama v Colorado

I watched the last few minutes of the game, and indeed their was a illegal forward pass on one of the attemped "latterals." But what I appeared to have heard was a whistle blow before the forward pass. If it blew before the forward pass, the play should have ended with the IW there, correct?

Yep, if someone owned up to it then they would have an IW. And that would mean an untimed down. Someone in our internet chat last night mentioned hearing a whistle but I did not recall him saying when it was in the process. Kind of surprised the coach would have known about that rule.

No IW..... LJ was blowing play dead (knee down) during one of the earlier passes (laterals). He sold it well and came all the way to the middle pointing down and blowing whistle.....only could see it if you were actually there. R made announcement "player down by rule prior to IFP, therefore, no foul....game over". That crew did a solid job. Wasn't sure who they were, found out later they were a WAC crew. By the way.....the U got taken out on a reverse play early in the 2nd Q.
