Throw out-of-bounds pass negates ineligible receiver?
New poster here. Saw a strange (to me) call yesterday in the FL State v NC State game. I can't find a rule book anywhere online without buying it. Found this forum and figured you guys could validate or overrule the call. What do you guys think?

QB scrambled outside of tackle box then threw ball out of bounds to avoid a sack. Flag for ineligible receiver was picked up because as ref said, "QB legally threw the ball away". Really? Seems to me that this should be considered an incomplete pass. Why should the offense be let off the hook?

Are you sure the flag wasn't picked up for a possible intentional grounding?

Positive. I taped the game and watched the relay. Ref says there is no penalty for illegal receiver down field because the QB legally threw the ball away.

First things first, welcome to the forum.

The NCAA Rulebooks can be downloaded without paying for them. You just have to do a little more looking than you would think to find the actual copy of the rulebook.

That being said, I would have to look up the NCAA rule on this. There are a lot of exceptions in NCAA rules and I would not be surprised if this was one of them.

Peace

What exact time did the play in question occur?

I am not finding anything that absolves a penalty for IRD because of a ball being thrown away. I could be wrong, I am just not finding anything in this case.

Peace

5:24 left in 1st quarter. The full R quote is "There is no foul on the play for an ineligible receiver down field because the QB legally threw the ball away." When they announce the decision you can see Jimbo Fisher yelling "why isn't that a penalty?"

If you have a link that would be nice. A lot of the sites I tried were kinda iffy, loading animated pop-ups and such. One triggered my anti-virus to put up a warning.

It is on the NCAA website. All the rulebooks are downloadable.

NCAA Rulebook

Not trying to be funny, I did a Google search and there it was.

Peace
