No... remember, I worked NCAA rules, so I was curious about the NFHS rules after i read your answer, and I THINK NCAA rules differ. Then again ... also remember that I hung em up for football about 5 years ago --- so I could be either simply wrong, or using obsolete rules..
Seems to me (and you allude to this) the RIGHT (as in "fair", not "correct") way would be to go from LOS if this happened in the backfield.
