**sorry if these questions have already been answered, parts of the game I was in a weather-induced mental fog and I keep forgetting to ask **
1) I believe it was the 2nd half, we kick off to UCF, their returner touched the ball on like the 5 yard line, then he recovered and downed it in the end zone for a touchback. Most of the players on the field thought it was a safety, as did a good part of the crowd. What was the deal there on the touchback call? Is that the rule in both College and NFL?
2) Later that drive, close to mid-field, the UCF QB was hit by a rusher (was it Joseph?) just as he released the ball and got called for a roughing the passer penalty. Did they show a replay on tv that explained the call? Looked pretty clean live.
3) Lastly, on the drive when Newsome ran like 40 yards (was it a run or swing pass, I don't know) and was declared down at the 2 yd line (looked like he made it in), then we were stuff 3 times in a row until we went for it on 4th and Foxx came in to run the read option and hand it off to RJ for the score. We certainly ended up in the endzone a few times, only for the officials to spot the ball 1/2 yard line. Just wondering if those watching at home got to see a good replay of us NOT getting in the endzone to corroborate the calls on the field. Did Newsome get in or did his knee touch and was legitimately down at the 2? How about the next 4 downs?
Thanks!
