It's legal. There's an exception for FGs. Otherwise, wouldn't every FG be a loss of 7 yards?
He acknowledged right there in his post that he knew it was legal for kicks!
He wasn't questioning that part. He was asking about a non-kick maneuver such as we saw last night. And yes, I know the rules allow what the Tigers did, it's been covered ad neauseum already, guess he just didn't see it anywhere.

This same question came up after the Colt David/Matt Flynn fake vs. South Carolina in 2007.
Rule 4-3-1-b.
b. When any part of the ball carrier’s body, except his hand or foot, touches the ground or when the ball carrier is tackled or otherwise falls and loses possession of the ball as he contacts the ground with any part of his body, except his hand or foot. (Exception: The ball remains alive when an offensive player has simulated a kick or is in position to kick the ball held for a place kick by a teammate. The ball may be kicked, passed or advanced by rule) (A.R. 4-1-3-I).

Thanks! From the date of my membership you can see I've only been here a few months. I'm amazed at how much many people here know about the Tigers. I'm also amazed at how much some people think they know, and how much others don't want to share with those of us who are new.
To those of you who have posted answers to my questions I say thanks.
