[Husker] Reviewed Call

[Tim Silvey]

I thought it looked closed from the side angle, however, the front shot showed that it wasn't close.  Also, I usually watch the immediate response from the player and he did not seem to even give a hint that it touched him.
I agree, terrible call.


"Not the victory but the action.
  Not the goal but the game.
   In the deed the glory."
