2. Second and 4 on the A-28 yard line. The 25-second clock is already at 10 seconds and when Team A breaks its huddle, nine Team A players stand near where the huddle broke, while two players jog to their sideline. With about 5 seconds on the play clock, two Team A substitutes enter the field and Team A rushes to their positions before the play clock expires. The ball is snapped and the Line Judge immediately sounds his whistle. This is the first time Team A has substituted in this manner during the game.
3. Fourth and 9 on the A-39 yard line. Before the ball is snapped, the Umpire notices two Team B players, each wearing a 4" X 12" white towel (with no markings) strapped to the front of their belts.
4. Third and 2 on the B-44 yard line. QB A8 is "barking" signals, changing the loudness to attempt to draw the defense offside. He makes no moves with his head or body, just uses his voice. Defensive Tackle B90, on the line of scrimmage, is fully aware of what A8 is attempting. B90 swings his left arm in a "ripping" motion in an attempt to get Tackle A77 (directly across from him) to false start. A77 does not move. B90 does not enter the neutral zone. (Signal?)
5. Prior to the game, the home team is observed wearing "mostly" green jerseys. The main exception is the front of each jersey has a very large white "bib," with the player's numbers inside the "bib" in the same color green as the remainder of the jersey. The equipment manager says these are the new "home" jerseys.
6. Fourth and 12 on the A-34 yard line. The punted ball strikes the ground at the B-31 yard line and bounces very high. B23 waves his arm side to side, high and straight above his head, before he recovers the kick at the B-29 yard line. A78 makes an otherwise legal tackle of B23 at the B-29 yard line.
7. Fourth and 2 on the B-18 yard line. Team A has 11 players huddling near their sideline. With about 10 seconds on the play clock, Place Kicker A6 leaves as the huddle breaks, and goes to his team bench area. A88 enters the game and Team A immediately forms a "double tight end, classic T" formation. (This is the second time Team A has attempted this type of timed substitution, having received a 5 yard penalty previously.)
8. First and 10 on the A-28 yard line. QB A8 drops back to throw a forward pass to Tight End A88, who is slanting across the field, just behind the Umpire. As A8 releases the pass, Tackle A78 stands up. The ball ricochets off of A78's helmet and continues down field where A88 dives for the ball. The ball lands, untouched, at the A-36 yard line.
9. First and 10 on the A-14 yard line. The ball is snapped on the left inbounds mark. QB A8 is under pressure as he drops back to pass. As A8 rolls out toward the opposite sideline and is near the right inbounds mark, at the A-6 yard line, he is unable to locate an open receiver. He throws the ball down field, past the line of scrimmage and very far out-of-bounds.
10. Second and 6 on the B-44 yard line. Wide-out A88 was positioned very near the sideline at the snap. On a sweep to A88's side of the field, running back A32 is at the B-40 yard line, when A88 blocks B90 below the waist at the B-37 yard line. A88 is blocking back toward the original position of the ball at the snap. A32 runs for a touchdown.
11. First and 10 on the B-39 yard line. QB A8 scrambles back to find an open receiver. He attempts to throw a middle screen to Back A32 who is at the B-37 yard line. Guard A65 is struck on the back of his shoulder pad by the ball in flight. The ball bounces high into the air. Linebacker B44 pushes A32 out of the way at the B-36 yard line and intercepts the pass. B44 returns the ball to the 50 yard line, where he is tackled.
12. Fourth and 8 on the A-40 yard line. As Back A32 is calling signals for the punter, Team B's defensive linemen all execute a shift to the left while on the line of scrimmage. No Team B player enters the neutral zone. Guard A65, in response to the shift, lifts up prior to the snap.
13. Second and 12 on the A-18 yard line. QB A8, under heavy pressure, scrambles toward the sideline. He is within 3 yards of the sideline and still unable to locate an open receiver when he reverses field. He runs back and is directly behind where the ball was snapped (within two yards laterally) at the A-14 yard line, when he throws the ball to the A-30 yard line, an area where there are no eligible Team A players. When he threw the ball, he was still under defensive pressure. The ball lands incomplete.
14. Prior to the game, the Umpire observes A88 wearing arm pads with some kind of "dots" on it. Upon closer inspection, the Umpire determines that these "dots" are made of a soft rubberized material which would aid in the catching of a football.
15. Third and 4 on the A-47 yard line. Slotback A22 is initially lined up to the right of Tight End A91. A22 goes in motion to the left and is still in motion in the same direction at the snap, well outside the left tackle. Runner A32 sweeps left. A22 blocks B70 below the waist, back toward the ball at the B-46 yard line. A32 runs to the B-35 where he is pushed out-of-bounds.
16. Free kick from the A-35 yard line. A strong wind is blowing from A's end of the field. The kicked ball sails over the head of B21 at the B-14 yard line. B21 slips and falls. The ball hits the ground on the B-9 and rolls toward the end zone. B21, realizing he needs some time to get to the ball, turns toward the ensuing A players and makes a "fair catch" signal. He then attempts to recover the ball, but A41 attempts recovery at the B-1 yard line. The ball squirts out of A41's hands (never any possession) and rolls into and out of B's end zone.
17. Second and 14 on the A-33 yard line. QB A8, under a heavy pass rush, attempts to throw a pass to A80 who is at the A-35 yard line. The low pass strikes Tackle A77 on the right shoulder at the A-31 yard line and continues on toward A80. While the ball is in the air, B44 holds A80 at the A-35 yard line. The ball falls incomplete after A80 attempts to catch it.
18. Fourth and 16 on the A-37 yard line. The punted ball is caught by B21 at the B-19 yard line. During the runback, B49 and B30 simultaneously block A60 at the B-32 yard line. B49 blocks A60 at the shoulders and B30 blocks A60 below the thigh. B21 is tackled at the B-41 yard line.
19. Third and 6 on the B-39 yard line. As QB A8 is shouting cadence, Linebacker B56 is running toward the line of scrimmage and backing up repeatedly, in an attempt to "time" the snap. B56 never enters the neutral zone, but stops each time between two "down" defensive linemen before backing out.
20. Prior to a Free Kick at the A-35, the Umpire notices the following players wearing towels (all 4" x 12" with no markings) on the front of their belts: B22, B38 and Place-kicker A7.
21. Third and 4 on the B-32. B21 pushes Wide Out A82, forcing A82 to step on the sideline at the B-26 yard line. As QB A8 scrambles to find an open receiver, he is about to throw towards A82, who had immediately returned in-bounds. Just before the ball is thrown, B21 holds A82 at the B-25 yard line. B40 intercepts the ball at the B-26 yard line and is downed at the B46. B63 clipped A45 at the B-41 yard line during B40's interception return.
22. First and 10 on the A-6 yard line. At the snap, B52 was offside. QB A8, unable to locate an open receiver, scrambles and is finally downed at the A-2 yard line. While A8 was scrambling, Center A55 clipped B92 in the end zone and Back A32 held B72 on the A-4 yard line.
23. Fourth and 1 on the 50 yard line. The punt bounces at the B-15 yard line, rolls to the B-4, where A28 muffs it to the B-1 yard line. B24 picks up the ball at the B-1 and runs to the B-45 yard line where he is hit and fumbles the ball. A42 recovers, falling on the ball at the B-45. During B-24's run, B40 blocked A53 in the back, above the waist at the B-34 yard line and A74 blocked B59 below the waist at the B-45 yard line.
24. Fourth and 6 on the B-48 yard line. While the punt is in the air, B31 signals for a fair catch at the B-10 yard line. After the kick bounces at the B-5, B31 blocks A42 at the B-12 yard line. The ball rolls untouched into the end zone. Upback A44 held B95 prior to the kick.
25. First and 10 on the B-12 yard line. Team A leads 21-14, with the clock stopped with 12 seconds remaining in the first half. They decide to attempt one pass for a touchdown before attempting a field goal. QB A8 rolls out toward the sideline looking for a receiver and throws a pass from the B-11 yard line toward A83, who is in the end zone. B45 pushes A83 in the end zone and intercepts the pass. B45 is downed in the end zone with 4 seconds remaining on the game clock.
