Neb vs USC

Ha! Figured it was something like that.

The funny thing is that rule was created to stop things like that from occurring (i.e. the Reggie Bush flips into the end zone).

Something I didn't understand was why was that flip into the end zone by USC called "after the play" unsportsmanlike instead of being 15 yds from where he started the flip. Watching the replay he started his flip at the 3 yd line, so from my understanding of the rule the TD should have been taken off the board and the ball moved back to the 18 yd line. Anyone?

Easy. Calls like that are always "after the play".

Basically, if the action does not have any bearing on the play itself, then it is an after the play foul.

Always, when the ball passes the plane, any foul after it is called as after the play. Just like tackles.
