I had a buddy that was working as one of the officials in that game. If it was the wide receiver on the Howard sideline that was "injured" the official told me the receiver had no idea where he was when he stood up. The question regarding the 5 downs was due to an inadvertent whistle. The team with the ball has the option of either replaying the down from the previous spot or taking the ball for their next play at the spot of the ball when the whistle blew. Since there were 5 downs, it seems to me that Howard elected to replay the down from the previous spot.
For what it's worth, the crew for that game had only compliments on the behavior and sportsmanship of both players and coaches. With coaches like both teams have that should have been expected. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />
