- An objection that the team resumes offense after the fumble is corrected: they are on defense. The remaining objection is the unexplained immediate jump to third down.
- Dillon’s brother attending during Harvard’s football season is questioned; a bye is offered as a possible explanation.
- Moving Cleary’s car into the dorm is considered logistically impossible, especially at that speed and without visible damage.
- David’s 42 quarterback number and impossibly long pass are questioned again.
- David being allowed to enter the girls’ swim practice is questioned.
- The water beads on Sally’s face remain oddly stationary.
- Dating trips seem inconsistent with the boarding school’s lights-out rules.
- Dillon steals Rip’s notes noisily before waiting for him to fall asleep, after effectively announcing his interest in them.
- The history teacher sees Dillon drop his books but does not connect him to the nearby crib sheet; questioning him first is proposed as the responsible response.
