LDUB already mentioned the mechanics and the clock, the latter of which I hadn't noticed. Bad ECO!

The officials under the goalposts were... not under the goalposts. Moving to get a better angle on the crossbar? I've never seen that before.

What was the deal with the long break between the fair catch and the free kick? Did the visitors call timeout?

All in all, other than the clock, nothing horrible. I'm sure I look much worse most plays.

As for the announcers, not too bad. I caught two rule errors, and one nit-pick.

1) If an unsuccessful field goal attempt (i.e. a scrimmage kick) crosses the goal line, it is a touchback.
2) The fair catch free kick does not exist in college football.
3) "This is not, technically, a kick-off." Sure it is. Only, if the ball passes over the crossbar and through the uprights, it is a field goal, too.
