There is no penalty for throwing a backward pass OB.

No, of course not. Does the clock run or stop though?

It is fumble out of bounds. Clock stops and starts on the snap unless we are in NCAA outside 2 minutes of the half.

In the Vikings game yesterday Jerad Allen intercepted a pass and while getting tackled tried to pass it to a teammate but the ball went forward and hit the ground. There was a scrum for the ball and the announcers were speculating who had it under the pile. I knew that was irrelevant. The short wing came up and dropped his flag where Allen threw the ball and then signaled incomplete. The R got on his mic and explained there was a foul for an illegal forward pass and Minnesota would have it 1st and 10 5 yards behind the spot of the pass. He then added the pass was incomplete. I knew the announcers would stumble on that one. After re-explaining what happened, one of them said, "But I don't know why he said the pass was incomplete. Allen clearly caught it and they gave Minnesota the ball."

Poor Joe. He spends so much time with McCarver during the baseball season the ignorance rubs off on him...
