The challenge is to not go too up-field on their blocks so as to not get an illegal man downfield penalty called when we decide to pass.



What's distance on an illegal man downfield? Past 5 yards? 4?

Supposed to be like 3 yards but it’s not called many times. The key is the QB making quick decisions with the ball if he decides to pull it.

Passed 3 yards and you'll usually get a call but LSU's gotten away with a few linemen +5 yards so far this year so

The technique is to run block because the play called is a run play with an option to pass. The rule is 3 yards unless the ball is completed behind he line of scrimmage then it doesn’t matter.

It is the least called penalty in college football and has been for years. First touchdowns versus Georgia Southern and Florida one o lineman is 5-6 yards downfield every play. It has been the biggest gripe from coaches against Malzahn’s offense since he has been at Auburn
