Wisc/Mich 4th and short

[TXMike]

Did not see it but based on what you 2 have said, looks like a clear foul on the offense. I have even seen a quote this morning attributed to the punter where he admits he was head bobbing and learned it from watching Favre.

I guess where I was coming from, yes, it appeared he head bobbed, and I figured it was a FS right there. My question more came from the linemen going down in dramatic fashion at the time of the verbal signal (which in my mind is also worthy of a false start).

Sounds like either one would have been a foul. If the offense moved in a "quick, jerky" motion instead of an "unhurried motion" or a "smooth, rythmical shift" it is a foul.

When I saw it live I thought someone (or many people) for Wisc. flinched. It was only on replay that I saw what they had pulled off.

I was at the game and I saw players move, but I guess it depends on what happened first. The bottom line if you ask me is if the defense never hits the offensive lineman, then you might have a case for a foul on Wisconsin. Then again I was looking from behind the Wisconsin offensive formation; I did not see a replay I was satisfied with.

All the linemen went into their stance together, completely in sync.

It was the punter/QB that body bobbed. It was blatantly obvious and I can't find it on the web, but if you saw it you'd wonder how that wasn't flagged.
