#2, I'm dying to know under what rules can intentional grounding be called on a backwards pass?

#2 - In NCAA a backwards pass thrown out of bounds to conserve time is a foul. 5 yards spot of foul, loss of down.

It's not really called intentional grounding in the book, although it is enforced as such.

Yep, I'm aware of that.

But the punter in Wolverine's play who threw the ball out of the back of the end zone wasn't doing so to conserve time.

So I'm waiting to find out what rules code is used in a Friday night football game in Georgia that says this play is intentional grounding.

I never said it was. Clearly, the officials in that game were a bit rule-challenged.
