I just watched the game again and i realized we had ZERO fumbles. What a great job.
 
I did notice two illegal shift penalties called on us in the first quarter (the second one wasn't accepted). I don't really remember hearing that called on us much this year - my memory could be bad - but I wonder if Richt saw something on the tape and was in the officials' ear about it before the game.

Might have just been coincidence, and whatever it was we stopped doing it.

The second one was a bad call, Dwyer didn't move until after the ball was snapped, but the official thought he did. The first one I wasn't sure if it was correct or not, lousy camera coverage.

Ah, ok. I was up in the stratosphere (sec. 610) on the other end of the field at that point. I think a helicopter flew below my seats at that point and distracted me :laugher:
 
Turnovers won the game for us. Zero on a wet day for us means our focus and concentration was excellent. The interception for the TD and kickoff fumble recovery followed by a TD run made the difference - 14 points off turnovers for the Jackets.

Actually we had one turnover on the hail mary pass at the end of the first half, but that was meaningless and your point is dead on.

They were both bad calls, due to the fact they were made by the head ref and not the line judge that can actually see the snap.
 
I think on the first motion penalty both A backs were in motion when it was snapped.

Reviewing it on the DVR, it was really, really close as to whether both Jones and Dwyer moved early (Cox was the motion back). It looked to me like they moved simultaneously with the snap. The left guard also moved at the same instance, but it was called illegal shift, not false start, so they weren't calling it on him.

On the second one, the call was simply wrong. Dwyer moved quickly, but not early.
