A question regarding the illegal motion penalty

We didn't have any timeouts. The last few plays were very frantic. I noticed on 3rd down one of our Wrs still wasn't set at the snap. So we were whistled for illegal motion. So my question is...why wasn't the play whistled dead? We obviously weren't set. But the play got ran and the clock dwindled to 1 second and we were fd.

It wasn't illegal motion, it was illegal shift which is a live ball penalty.

It was called an illegal shift which is an in play call , not motion.

3. As Team A breaks its huddle, A22 and A33 continue in motion laterally as their
teammates all stop and set into their positions. A22 comes to a stop but A33 continues
his motion at the snap. All eleven players are never set for one second before the ball is
snapped.
RULING: The officials shut down the play at the snap: Dead-ball foul, illegal shift that
converts to a false start. Five-yard penalty. Team B has the option of a 10-second
runoff. Team A may avoid the runoff by being granted a team timeout. Play clock: 25
seconds. Game clock starts on the referee’s signal if there is a 10-second runoff and on
the snap if there is no runoff.
Thats from the College Football Officiating rulebook.
Illegal shift translates to a false start which stops the game clock. That gives the offended team the option of a 10 second run off, which obviously would have been taken.
Thats according to the Officiating rulebook....
