If it bumbles along on the ground back to the QB, no different than a lousy snap from a long snapper to a punter, except with less air time.....it stays live.

There are 2 programs that still run wing T around here with the backs all cuddled up behind center and the ball rarely makes it to the backs without it NOT hitting the ground and maybe never gets in the air. I've never seen anyone kill it ever, nor have I.

My honest opinion is some of you really try hard to read way too far into a rule and dissect it....just my 2 cents. Do what you do or what you've done...if the ball moves backwards away from the LOS, it's a live ball if/when it leaves the snapper's hand(s).
