At the snap, he releases downfield and the QB lobs a deep pass down the sideline which is caught for a TD.
Any flags?

Simulated substitution procedure. Classic "hideout" or "sleeper" play that rule was directed against.
But how about this one: same as above, but before the ball is snapped, B1 asks to use one of their remaining time outs. If it was clear because of verbal signals that the reason for the time out was because the hideout play was diagnosed, what do you do?
Looks like because both Fed & NCAA make the foul one deemed to occur as the ball is put in play, you have to grant the time out and no foul occurs.
