Is that even legal?

[doris666]

it seems not legal

[Ravage!!!]

what part seemed illegal... the snap, the walking, or the TD run?

[Peerless]

Oh wait... I guess there was a legal snap in there.

Can't be legal, the Center has to snap it to the QB doesn't he??

no... never seen direct snaps to the runners? most of the time it's a shotgun formation and the snap goes directly to the fullback or halfback and they blast through. takes out the middle-man...

but this was just weird... i mean, how'd they even get away with it? the team didn't even act like the ball had been snapped, usually as soon as that ball moves, the d-line is on the move... i can't believe they fell for it.

they deserved to get scored on...

The center DOES snap the ball... to the QB. Just like any other play. I was at a game where this was attempted.

The reason the D-line doesn't go (or didn't in this case) is because the QB / line starts yelling, "Wait... wait... wrong ball guys, wrong ball... Coach, we need the game ball, hold on!" and he casually gets the snap and just stands up and doesn't move... and from there, you see what happens.

They did a side snap,
where instead of the center giving the ball through the legs, he turned a little and just handed it to him.

It's legal

It just surprises me that at that level the refs knew/know enough not to blow the whistle and let the play happen. It still cracks me up to see the play.

coach probably tells them before the game to look out for that play....

Good point.

Forward that to Mike, we should totally try it

I guess I'm a fuddy duddy but um ... shouldn't we be teaching kids to play within the spirit of the game? It's funny but pretty chicken**** IMO.

It reminds of a parent I know that coaches a kids football team. He has the parents attend the other teams practices and video tape them to find out who the athletes are. Then gameplans accordingly.

wow, that was pretty sneaky. Anybody ever do the fumblerooskie in high school?
