The latter. You had to ask? This was pretty bush league, I had to turn away back to my math problems to get my head straight.
I was pretty sure that was it, but just confirming. I wasn't upset the first time since I think the strategy is probably right, but after you miss the snap once you probably shouldn't try again.
Were you adding up all the salary cap space that Washington is going to have coming up? A bolstered defense will go a long way.

What’s a salary cap? (Kidding of course, but I don’t immerse myself into anything beyond what’s between the sidelines, pretty much.)

I remembered it was the 1954 Cotton Bowl and it was Rice/Alabama, but I had to go back and edit my post because I messed up which team it was that did it. My wife will tell you that I have a photographic memory when it comes to random crap, sports facts, 90s music, etc...but you'll probably have to remind me 4 times to do a load of laundry or call someone on their birthday.

The NCAA rule today falls under Unsportsmanlike Conduct and states...

Unsportsmanlike conduct. The referee may take any action they consider equitable, which includes directing that the down be repeated, including assessing a 15-yard penalty, awarding a score, or suspending or forfeiting the game
I think there's a video of the Bob Hope All America special (or similar) where they brought both players on and they shook hands and laughed about it.
