We talked about this in the game discussion thread and I think it was just an accident.I never heard anything about a penalty on the touchback...can anyone confirm what happened? I know the refs had a hard time seeing some stuff out there...were the yard lines giving them fits too? Thanks!

5As in the refs accidentally spotted them 10 yards? Wow! That's a big accident.
Mystery solved.Per Huskers.com, we were offside on the kickoff. They have the option of enforcing it from where they take over.
What's funny is I only noticed it after my dad said Illinois got 7 yards on the first run, and I knew it was only 2 yards. He saw where they placed the ball after their first play, and that's when I realized what happened.We talked about this in the game discussion thread and I think it was just an accident.I never heard anything about a penalty on the touchback...can anyone confirm what happened?

Thanks, Moiraine. That's what I figured. I guess I couldn't move on until I asked...since it had such a huge effect on the game and all...I could have done more research in the other threads...thanks for bailing me out!We talked about this in the game discussion thread and I think it was just an accident.I never heard anything about a penalty on the touchback...can anyone confirm what happened?
