[QUOTE="Illinir1, post: 1670381, member: 4270"] Has anyone heard of a ball spotting error by the referees on the Illini's final offensive 4th down play? Robert Rosenthal, on Twitter, captured screen shots that show Norwood being tackled approximately 1 foot short of the first down line to gain 33 yard line, the line judge running in and showing a spot 1 foot short, then after a Rutgers defensive timeout the ball is spotted 1 yard short on the 34 yard line, then the Center Judge picks up the ball and moves it 1 foot further out to the 34 yard and 1 foot line. While the 4th down pitch got totally stuffed, the point is a QB sneak on 4th and 1 foot most likely continues the Illini possession and possibly the game outcome.
