This occurred in a game officiated by NCAA rules, but I'm interested in the Fed point of view too.
3rd down, seconds to go in the 1st quarter. QB receives a shotgun snap and takes one step to the left, when the whistle blows loudly (ending the quarter). QB, and everyone else, believe the play is over. QB takes 2 more steps. DE, rushing past the line, actually makes a great play in avoiding the QB (even though he didn't have to). No one blew their whistle.
Then QB tosses the ball back toward the LOS. No receivers in sight and the ball didn't cross the NZ.
Technically - incomplete forward pass.
But is this also intentional grounding? How would you / your crew have handled this?
