Had this actually happen in a JV game a few weeks back. Flanker went in motion and got reset....LB shifted to the outside. QB came forward and was still creeping forward when he got the ball...no 1 second pause or getting set. Tried QB sneak up middle. Flag at snap.

Play was on 4th down...Team A didn't get 1st down...B declined penalty and took ball, tournover on downs.
