We had a test last night with a question I'm not sure about.
"The first pass of a double pass must always be a backward pass?" True or False.
The question references rule 7-5-2, "A second or subsequent forward pass thrown during a down" is an illegal forward pass.
I answered false because if the first pass is forward but still in or behind the NZ can't another pass be throw if it is backward? Say the QB drops back a few steps, throws to the Split-End who is a step behind the NZ who then throws a backward pass to a running back on the other side of the field. Doubt I would see it but wouldn't that be a legal play?
The answer was true, by the way.
