Ball State/Toledo ineligible reciever play

[BoomerSooner]

Just wondering if anybody caught the play during the Ball State vs. Toledo game where Toledo had its offensive tackle fake a block as the play rolled away from his side and then drift back to catch what initially looked like a pass to me and apparently the linesman as well.

The guys calling the game tried to come up with every explanation for the way it was called and why it was reviewed except for the fact that it was a backward pass. They started by suggesting that it was a "tackle eligible" play, but the flag was because he didn't report. Then they tried to say that it shouldn't matter as long as he was uncovered on the end of the line. Replay, however, showed that the WR was on the line thus they said he was ineligible because of that. Then they said the play was reviewed because of a fumble, however, the play was ruled down originally so that couldn't be the reason for the review (although these guys swore up and down that the ball was going to go over to Ball St.) I couldn't believe the utter rule book illiteracy that these guys were preaching.

I know announcers aren't experts in rules matters, but this was sad by announcer standards.
