Even more strange was the lack of communication from the linesman. But every crew has its way of working things out. And the bottom line is that it WAS a judgement call.

My point was I think he was the guy that happened to be talking to Tressel when the camera showed the sideline. I do not think it was any more than that as he seemed to be over there. I know it is not uncommon to be asked questions even when you are not the person that had anything to do with the play at hand. Probably the reason no one mentioned it is because it was not as big of a deal as you are making it (size and all).
