What's wrong with this play?

There are a few questionable issues with this play.
1) Did A have 7 men on the line? At first I questioned this due to the Holder's postioning not being square to the line. But after further review, they had seven on the line outside the hash. 2) Were those 7 men actually on the line of scrimmage? The ball is on A37 and the linemen outside the hash appear to be on A36 and standing almost straight up. But..the holder does have his body turned and his foot way back. I'll give the line the benefit of the doubt here. I don't have a problem with that. 3) PROBLEM!! A7 never gets set. In fact, he's moving forward at the line. IS or IM, take your pick. This should have been called. Great play though...never seen something like that not on a try before. |

Yeah, that's pretty close to a violation of 7-3-c - failure of snapper to completely pause before the snap.
And techincally, the snapper only has to have their shoulders "approximately parallel" to the LOS. (2-31-14) He looks fine to me in the play. Last edited by HawkeyeCubP; Tue Sep 26, 2006 at 01:35am. |

And...I think that the R blew the RFP too early. I would never have blown it while team B was walking back onto the field.

1. RFP should not have been blown with B still coming onto field and B coaches still on the field. If they are "delaying" flag them for DOG, but do not blow the RFP.
2. A-7 very clearly never sets - IM 3. Snapper clearly never sets - IM

2-27-4-1: Lineman "A lineman is any Team A player legally on his scrimmage line when the ball is snapped. An interior lineman is any Team A player legally on his scrimmage line and positioned between the end Team A players who are also on the line of scrimmage at the snap. An ineligible pass receiver of Team A is “on his scrimmage line’’ at the snap when he faces his opponent’s goal line with the line of his shoulders parallel thereto and his head breaking the plane of the line drawn through the waistline of the snapper." 2-27-8: Snapper "The snapper is the player who snaps the ball. He becomes the snapper when he assumes his position and touches or simulates (hand[s] at or below his knees) touching the ball (Rule 7-1-3-a-1)." I can't find anything in the NCAA Rules that says, verbatim, that the snapper, or a lineman, for that matter must have their shoulders parallel to the LOS - it only mentions it in determining the eligibility/ineligibility of A players. I'm sure I'm missing something though, if not the implied and expected inference that that's the way it is. NCAA people? |

I agree about the snapper though- it doesn't seem like a requirement for him since it doesn't say a snapper must meet the requirements for a lineman. I'm glad I'm a deep guy. |

Looked to me like they didn't set for a second. That would have been my issue.
