1. First and 10 on the B-33 yard line. QB A8 drops back and throws a forward pass to End A80 at the B-5 yard line. A80 catches the ball and crosses Team B's goal line with the ball in his possession. After A8 released the ball, he was roughed by B93. After A80 scored, he was flagged for spiking the ball in the end zone.

2. Fourth and 8 on the A-32 yard line. Team A's scrimmage kick is very high, but does not travel far. B21 is in position to catch the kick at the B-36 yard line. A32 approaches B21 from the front, and is at the B-37 yard line when B21 catches the ball (no contact). B21 runs and is downed at the B-44 yard line.

3. Second and 5 on the B-31 yard line. QB A8 throws a forward pass to End A88 at the B-12 yard line. A88 catches the ball there and is immediately grabbed by the facemask by B40, who twists and turns it in an attempt to tackle A88. However, A88 is able to break free and runs into Team B's end zone with the football still in his possession.

4. Fourth and 12 on the A-28 yard line. B20 is in position to catch a punt at the B-32 yard line. A47 holds up on his rush but is within 1 yard of B20 (at the B-33 yard line) when B20 has to dive forward in an attempt to catch the kick. B20 contacts A47 at the B-33 yard line, and muffs the kick to the B-36 yard line where A46 picks up the ball and runs to the B-14 yard line where he is tackled.

5. Second and 11 on the B-38 yard line. QB A8 scrambles to his left, looking for an open receiver. He throws the ball across the field to End A80 who is at the B-24 yard line. DB B21 grabs A80 (while the ball is in the air) in an attempt to keep A80 from catching the ball. A80 makes the catch anyway, breaks free and scores.

6. Third and 6 on the B-10 yard line during the first series of an overtime period. QB A8 pitches the ball backward toward A33 who muffs the ball and it rolls to the B-17 yard line where B92 picks it up and runs across the Team A goal line. After B92 recovered the ball, but before the score, B25 contacted A8 with a severe blow to A8's head with his forearm. After the ball is dead, B25 then strikes A8 with his fist.

7. Fourth and 16 on the A-38 yard line. Team A's punt is high, with B41 in position to catch the kick at the B-28 yard line. A32 runs past B41 and is within 1 yard of B41 as he passes. B41 does not have to alter his position. When B41 catches the ball on the B-28 yard line, A32 is on the B-24 yard line. B41 runs to the B-40 yard line where he is tackled.

8. First and 10 on the B-25 yard line, first series of overtime. QB A8's forward pass is intercepted by B18 at the B-6 yard line. B18 runs to the B-42 yard line where he is tripped by A80 and he fumbles the ball. A33 recovers the fumble and runs across Team B's goal line. After he fumbled, B18 ran up to the Line Judge, grabbed him and swore at him for not flagging the trip.

9. Fourth and 9 on the A-40 yard line. A punt hits the ground at the B-22 yard line and bounces very high into the air. B34 is in position to obtain possession of the kick at the B-20 yard line when A45 comes to within 1 yard of him at the B-21 yard line. B34 muffs the ball and A45 recovers by falling on the ball at the B-18 yard line.

10. Prior to the game, the Umpire observes most of Team A's facemasks are bright yellow. However A58, A67 and A91 all have red facemasks attached to their helmets.

11. At the end of the first half, the crew observes A8 and A33 being interviewed by a television crew on the sideline at about the 12 yard line. The Team A Coach is also being interviewed by a different announcer.

12. Fourth and 12 on the A-45 yard line. While A7's punt is in the air, Back A33 grabs and pulls B48's facemask at the A-40 yard line. B22 catches the punt at the B-14 yard line, runs to the B-48 yard line, fumbles, and A78 recovers at the A-46 yard line. During B22's run, B8 held A35 at the B-16 yard line.

15. Third and 5 on the B-32 yard line. QB A8 drops back to pass. Guard A64 drives Defensive Lineman B55 downfield to the B-29 where he stops. A8 then passes the ball toward Tight End A82. The ball deflects off the back of A64's helmet and is then caught by A82. A82 runs for a touchdown.

16. Third and 6 on the A-42 yard line. QB A8 pitches backward to A33 who runs toward a sideline. At the 50 yard line, A33 intends to throw the ball backward to A80. However, the ball goes forward and A80 catches it at the B-48 yard line and runs to the B-40 yard line where he is tackled. During A80's run, A78 holds B92 at the A-46 yard line.

17. Fourth and 8 on the A-42 yard line. Kicker A7's punt lands at the B-12 yard line where A4 bats it backward.

18. Fourth and 10 on the A-14 yard line. The punt is coming down at the B-42 yard line where B16, attempting to catch the ball, is distracted by A28 who runs directly at B16, stopping at the B-43 yard line, directly in front of him. The ball lands at the B-42 yard line, strikes B16's leg and bounces to the B-45 yard line where B20 picks up the ball and runs for a touchdown.

19. Fourth and 9 on the A-42 yard line. Wing Back A24 stumbles and misses his block against B98, so A24 sticks his leg out and trips B98 at the A-38 yard line. B16 catches the punt at the B-18 yard line and returns it for a touchdown.
