Football: A lackluster end to the first half

Down 28-14, the Tigers had a couple of chances to get some more points before the end of the half. With 1:09 on the clock, the Tigers started driving. Terrell made some nice passes--especially the one to Brian Brigham that would have put the Tigers at the Yale 25 yard line or so, but a costly holding penalty forced Princeton to march backwards. Terrell still managed to complete some passes to Brigham and Circle and had the Tigers in position, at the 36 yard line with 6 seconds to go. A quick sideline pass to Brigham should have put the Tigers at the 30 with a few seconds to go, but for some reason the officials didn't stop the clock. I couldn't see very well, but it definitely looked to me like Brigham got out of bounds. Coach Roger Hughes definitely wasn't happy with the call--neither am I. The 1:09 was wasted, and now the Tigers have to come back out and defend against the Yale offense which has run all over them all day.
