[QUOTE="John, post: 10033, member: 1"] Looks like there's some griping by UNC fans on their board. One gripe in particular I needed to check into because when I was watching game, I thought (and agreed initially with UNC fans that) we were given a 1st down even though we were short by about a yard based on ESPN's yellow line. So with the goal of being objective, I looked into it and below is the screenshots of what I found. For anyone that was wondering the same thing, ESPN had the yellow line at the incorrect spot. Edit: For those that are looking at the yardage numbers on ESPN's play-by-play list, keep in mind two things: 1) a ball can be and is very often marked in between two yard hash marks so in other words, a ball can be marked at approximately the 6.5 or even 6.3 yard "line" and it doesn't get rounded up or down by the refs and 2) ESPN's play-by-play list does round the number to a whole number otherwise what you would see is a player having rushed for 132.5 yards as opposed to 133 yards.
