I think it's a bit unrealistic to expect 99% of these kids to be able to recall it with 100% accuracy since they (a) don't play the system in college, and (b) have a much more simplified play call in college. Some of them look over at colored squares for the play.
It also goes to show you just how smart Griffin really was.

It's unrealisitic to ask 99% of the population of this country to recall the play like that. Human memory is not very good (the read/write mechanism is the same). There are very few people who would have been able to talk about that play so briefly, then have 8 more minutes of interview, and then reproduce the play accurately.
