Thanks for straighting me out on the forward pass. I thought a ball passed beyond the neutral zone was a forward pass because the NCAA rules on Pass Interference.
The interference rule says a legal forward pass beyond the neutral zone. I just assumed it was not considered a forward pass until it crossed the neutral zone.
Does this mean the defender can bump, hit, knock down a receiver until a forward pass crosses the neutral zone?
The article in AFM got me thinking about football rules and the differences between the different levels of football.
