I'm not sure, but I think one of Tucker's relatives won the 50/50.
Not bad!  Kind of like when Merrimack D Mark Cornforth's brother won
the 50/50 at Vermont earlier this year.

At first, it might have seemed that Reynolds was asleep on this play.
But it turned out that one of the referees was working the line, and
he made an incorrect signal for the offside - he only put his arm up
instead of also pointing down at the line with his other arm.  Then,
even when the zone was cleared, he took an extra second or two to put
his arm down.  That's why Reynolds was confused and started for the
bench.  Once the NU bench realized what had happened, they sent him
back out.
