if we show them the play before the game (which blows my mind we even trust doing this) and they kick the tires on it, there should either be a 'that's a legal play' or 'we will flag that because of this rule' type determination.
So if they knew about this rule then, the good faith relationship would expect that they reveal it, since that's the reason to show them the play.
If they didn't know about it then...when was it realized? While later researching ways to 'get us'? ..or did they have the epiphany right when the play happened after drinking a red bull?
That, combined with two other things makes them seem very fishy.
1) the inequity in how OL holding was being enforced. It seemed like they were 'searching' for holding calls against us (the ones they flagged were valid) while averting their eyes from UVA holds (Mills blew by them multiple times and was openly grabbed from behind).
2) the thing that bothered me the most was when the refs went quick so UVA could get a play off before replay could review the ball they dropped that was called a catch.
