Didn't AU have a db that game intercept a pass near the sideline than pitch it backwards into play to a teammate? Random memory but I think I recall AU doing that in a bowl game.

It was Karlos Dansby who amazingly is still in the NFL after about 15 years. I thought it was a year later but it was unbelievable. He did the standing high jump on the sideline and intercepted it and realized he was landing out of bounds so he flipped it to a teammate. The refs had never seen anything like it so they tossed a few flags. I think they finally called illegal touching which made no sense. I can't remember if he flipped it forward or backward but forward would might have been a penalty. I say "might" because I am not a ref but I think you have to have possession to get called for illegal forward pass and he never came down with the ball.

Found it on the webs. Illegal forward pass... Correct call if you can say he had possession without ever touching the ground.
