All five players didn't get set for at least a second before the snap...heck it'd actually be a false start...at least in Texas where we play football under REAL rules (what forum is this again? )

Amesman:

Who knows...wouldn't be the first time the U1 didn't chop time in for a jump ball. As to the backcourt count, the official who tossed the ball DID have a count, albeit technically slow. Even if they were using the game clock as a reference, it was technically a violation unless the official judged the throw to be a try, and that the player released the ball before 10 seconds (as it was really close).
