Next play inbound completion again, takes way too much time to get to the line again, false start penalty, 10 second run off, game over.

Highly polished multi billion dollar league it is not, but I find it entertaining whenever I run across a game to watch. Also is Rick Neuheisel really the best head coaching talent we could find for one of these teams? I guess any good coach who isn't actively coaching is making 5x the salary doing color commentary somewhere.

I was curious about that false start penalty after seeing it today. Looked like the lineman was bumped by the defensive player that was trying to get back onside. Shouldn't that have been a defensive penalty?
