Was hoping to find video - the description made it sound like it may have been a planned play - a la fumblerooski.

Should the TD count?

He was assuming the snap was a fumble (he even used that term)... if it WAS a fumble, it couldn't be advanced by anyone other than the fumbler. Which would mean no score.

He was unaware, however, that the backward pass from the snapper is not considered a fumble wrt this rule.
