Another reason why I pray Texas does not go Fed next year or ever. However, I will make clear from now on that I don't know fed, as I've only seen the cover of a Fed football book once (~1990) and have never opened it.

And the 2 forward passes on a play that was legal 2 years ago didn't violate your offensive principles? Sure did mine - glad they got rid of that.

I think even this is legal in FED - sweep around the right side, RB goes 5 yards past the line of scrimmage, and throws it back to QB, who (assuming no illegally downfield linemen or illegal blocks downfield by any offensive players) then throws it 40 yards downfield to the left for a TD.
