Not legal. Rule 7-2-5a requires A to have 7 players on their line of scrimmage. Rule 2-32-9 states that a lineman is an A player who is facing the opponents goal line... Therefore, facing their own goal line, means they are not linemen and thus are not considered to be on the line of scrimmage. Penalty for illegal formation.
