from a NY Times article

Robin Weber

"I had tackle shoulder pads, a lineman's cage face mask; and I had never caught a pass from Tom Clements-not even in practice."

and from another later article remembering that play

"Holy crap, Weber was thinking. They want me to run a 40 yd flag route? I've run that in sandlot football, but other than that..."

"The play almost never happened. Weber said he couldn't believe Notre Dame would call a play that might remotely involve him (Casper was the primary receiver)".

Convinced it was a mistake & ND had the wrong personnel on the field, Weber thought about calling timeout......
