Illegal Forward Pass??
QB rolls out and goes 5 yards beyond the LOS. He then retreats behind the line and throws a forward pass down field. All O lineman are on their side of the LOS when the pass is thrown.
Legal?? |
Depends on what ruleset the game is being played under.
This would be legal in NFHS (high school), and illegal in NCAA. Not sure about NFL, but I would guess it would be illegal in the code. |
Of course this presumes that the linemen were not illegally downfield at anytime before that pass. Once downfield, the linemen cannot correct their position by retreating.

Rich ~ where in the Rule Book does it state lineman cannot retreat?
