I enjoyed Ramey’s list and re-living some past glories. One thing I had never noticed before though, about Shaun Ellis’s INT at Auburn: why is it listed as a 90-yard return? If you watch the embedded video, it is pretty obvious he catches the ball at the 14-yard-line. Did they use the line of scrimmage for it? (If so, I didn’t know returns were calculated that way.) Even if they did it that way, the line of scrimmage was clearly outside the 10-yard-line so it should have been 89 yards at most. Anyone know anything about this?
I don’t know the real answer, so I’m just going to make a joke and say that it’s calculated in defensive lineman yards. It’s like dog years; every yard just seems a lot further. 🙂
LOL, if that’s the reasoning, I’m fine with it. I just need some kind of explanation.
