Passer over the LOS

[FTVMartin]

No, he became a runner when he crossed the line, but you can still have a personal foul.

For NCAA this was a new change for this year. Starting this year it will still be a foul for roughing.

This is technically not correct. He was a runner all along, since he was a player in possession of the ball. And, at the time of contact, he is NOT in fact a runner, because he did not possess the ball.

He cannot be roughed because by rule he is not a passer. A passer has thrown a legal forward pass. Throwing an illegal forward pass leaves a player unprotected by the roughing provisions.

You are absolutely correct that a late or other illegal hit could still be flagged as a personal foul.

Good reason to carry 2 flags.
