From a pure rules standpoint, there is nothing wrong with this play. The NCAA created a rule has nothing to do with HS or NFL Rules. So the officials do not have any guidelines to call this play any different than what the rules state. The defense just has to know that this is a pass. It might not seem fair, but there are no rules to make this illegal. We cannot use NCAA logic to call NF games without some rule change.
