When quarterback Jeremy George entered the Piedmont (Calif.) High School football coaches' office to talk to Kurt Bryan, he noticed an unusual formation on the dry-erase board.

At first, George thought the formation was meant for the punt team.

No, Bryan said, that's our new offense.

Yep! I'm a mod on several of their boards. Been trying to explain why it's illegal to the masses.

If I recall correctly, I read that the NFHS have said that it is legal. Have yuo received more information?

And I'm trying to find out what's illegal about it.

They're in a legal scrimmage kick formation. Meaning that 1-49 and 8-99 can be lined up anywhere on the field as long as they start on the line of scrimmage and between the ends.

They're ineligible to catch a forward pass, but beyond that their positioning is legal.

As we say in basketball all the time: Ugly ain't always illegal.

Where have you read the NFHS said it was legal? All I've read is where a COACH SAID the NFHS said it was legal.

I can tell you one thing. It's not legal in North Carolina.

I have a great LD plan, so I have half a mind to phone the NFHS myself.

If the NFHA does happen to tell me that it is legal, why is it illegal in NC? Is this the state adoption thing again?

eligible receivers
The 5 men on LOS can't go downfield, but they can catch a pass behind the LOS.

Better clarify that you mean they (anyone) can catch a "backwards" pass.

The points of origin and termination of said pass are equidistant from any yard line when such measurements are parallel. While possible, the phenomenon is not measureable by the human eye, and therefore ruled not possible in a football game at this time. To simplify the analogue nature of the game, passes have been categorized into 1 of 2 categories: forward and backwards.

oh stop.
If you throw a 10yd backward pass and it's dropped is it a incomplete pass or ruled a lateral? your technical description is very impressive.
