Ok, would someone please post a rule reference for play #4? I had no idea that a QB could run beyond the line of scrimmage, retreat, and then throw a legal forward pass. Please post the rule references/case book plays that support this. Thanks!
In NF, if either of the passers feet are behind the NZ, it is legal (7-5-1), but in NCAA, if any part of his body is beyond, it is illegal (7-3-2a). It also states in NCAA that if he onced crossed the NZ, he may not come back behind and legally throw. I cannot find the rule refernce on that one quickly, but it is in the "nonofficial", but widely accepted "differences" book.
