Sorry --- sometimes I assume that rules like this one are the same in both jurisdictions. I'm in Texas - so all I know is NCAA rules, not NF.

The NCAA rule, incidentally, is 3-5-2-c, which in part simply states "A team may not break its huddle with 12 or more players". It's in the section on Legal Substitutions. I'm surprised NF doesn't have a similar rule - this makes things VERY easy to officiate with regards to plays like the one that started this topic.
I have a hard time remembering who officiates under what rules code. The NF only says that a replaced player must leave the field "immediateley". It is up to each crew to determine exactly what immediately is.
