yeah i was at the game, saw it go down. referee was running down the sideline and he ran into a coach. Knocked the coach over while he ran by and then threw a flag because the coach was on the field
THIS! The NW coaches do it on every play, they are 2 yards on the field signaling every single play and then they run down the field with the team on every play. The refs obviously talked to them about it, by making a point to all go over there on the timeouts, and the NW coaches brushed them off, then when it finally came to a head a linesman who has to run down field with the movement of the ball from the LOS to get the spot on every play got pasted by a coach running on the field DURING the play and he was steamed!!!
The refs are old and can break a hip or something, so he threw the flag quite emphatically and cast a scornful gaze in Fitz's direction. Lets just say Pat Fitzgerald added 1 more de-cleater tackle to his college football career! Its a shame that the NW coaches cannot act sportsmanlike for even five seconds during a game without a flag, because Post-Flag they made sure everyone was back behind the white stripe.

In the post game Fitz seemed to think it was LBs coach Randy Bates who drew the flag. As stated above they generally dont't call this unless they've warned you multiple times already.

Yes, he did the Ref did and it was the right call.
