Under NCAA rules also, simply moving forward (by a back) is not a false start. As has been described, if it simulates the start of a play, it is a false start. Rule of thumb - If you think the play was starting, it was a false start. Many fans (and coaches) think a back can "reset" but that is BS. If he missed the snap count, he gets flagged.
