These two plays are from this year's NFL pre-season test. Evaluate them for Fed and NCAA rules (specify which you're using).
1. PLAY: A 3/4 B44. QB takes snap, and at the B45, turns and throws a quick pass which Back A2 catches at the B44. A2 runs to the B36 where he throws a pass to End A4 at the B28 and A4 runs for a TD. After scoring A2 taunts B2.
Interesting twist to Play #1...what if it was 4th down?

That ain't nuthin'...what if it wasn't 4th down but time expired for a period?
I don't know if they've fixed things, but at least as of recently there was an incentive for a trailing team in such a situation to throw an illegal forward pass in Fed. The loss of down was not accompanied by a loss of opportunity to snap the ball on an accepted penalty when a half expired.
