While accurate, I don't think this is the entire picture. One also has to take into account 7-5-7: "Pass interfererence restrictions only apply beyond the neutral zone and only if the legal forward pass, untouched by B in or behind the neutral zone, crosses the neutral zone." This has to be taken into account as well.
Too often, especially with smaller schools, I get complaints of pass interference on screen plays. And the better the program, it seems the more they know. In fact, the WSU vs OSU game on Sat showed a LB drill the RB on a screen preventing the catch. Great play.
