During the same dead-ball interval, no substitue shall become a player and then withdraw and no player shall withdraw and re-enter as a substitute unless a penalty is accepted, a dead-ball foul occurs, there is a charged time-out or the period ends.

In the Illinois v Wiscousin game, the Illinois QB was injuried. The backup QB came just onto the field with a ball and the center (who apparently could not leave the field) came over and started to give him snaps. The line judge immediately stopped them.
