What do you mean by lineman?

Hint: If you're talking about someone who usually plays guard wearing a number like 53 and is lined up in the backfield, he's not a lineman on that play.

I mean a guard legally on the LOS at the snap. Thanks

He is not, Rich you should perhaps read it again.

Jwaz is correctly referring to a "Lineman" as in NFHS 2-32-9

Rich on the other hand is describing a "Back" as in NFHS 2-32-3

And that was clear in the OP?

Perhaps I'm thinking it's possible that the OP was incorrectly using the word lineman? Wouldn't be the first time someone has done that, after all.

ART. 2 . . . If a fumble or a backward pass is caught or recovered by any player,
he may advance.


A lineman can receive a hand-off any time as long as it is not a forward hand-off, right?

7-3-1


that covers handing the ball but not taking the handoff, does it?


I mean, that pivot 180% crap only effects forward handing, correct??

Yes, as I wrote above at #3 & #4, before further posts muddied the water.
