I'll have to watch the replay because it was really tough to see what
happened live at the game.  It appeared as though the ball hit an NU blocker
(the kick didn't seem to get that close to Smith), followed by an EMU
recovery.  The problem with the kick was that it was so short and there were
multiple NU blockers near the ball where it came down.  The issue seemed to
be that Smith never really made a big effort to approach the ball - if he
would have been closer a fair catch interference call could have been a
possibility, but he was just too far away.
