Toledo ball 1 and 10 on roughly the Ball St. 11-12 yard line. Toledo's QB took the snap and rolled to his right. While this was going on the LT (wearing #79 and not on the end of the line) dropped back as if pass blocking but once the defenders followed the QB rolling to the right, he dropped back to about the 14 yard line and the QB threw it back to his side from about the 13. Really close but the ball definitely traveled backward. Initially it looked to be a forward pass and the linesman flagged it as 79 is obviously ineligible by number (and position in this play). Following the catch 79 ran about 6-7 yards for an eventual net of 3 or so yards on the play where he fumbled but was either ruled down before the fumble or recovered his own fumble. At the conclusion of all this, the play was reviewed and the flag was waived off as the pass was backward.

The announcers, however, were completely at a loss for how to consider this play with regard to the rules and not their imaginary way things should be.

(disclaimer: the yard lines and distances are what I can remember about 2 hours after the fact now that I'm at work. If they are off a little it doesn't really change the basic jist of the play)
