Why don’t you quote the rule instead of telling everyone else to?

You're conflating the two rule books. There is nowhere in the ncaa book that requires 7 on the line. There used to be, bit they changed it for a reason. Look it up.


I’m looking but haven’t found where legal formations are yet. And I’m not arguing, I genuinely like learning the rules. But are you saying that now there is no rule stating a minimum number of players need to be on the line?

ETA: you have to have at least 7 guys on the LOS. You can have more, but it’s to your disadvantage because only the guys at the very end are eligible receivers.


Wrong. You can legally snap the ball with 6, or even 5 on the LOS and still be legal. It would be stupid but it's legal.

Not if its considered a catch that brings you to the ground, then you MUST be maintained.
Debate is if the catch brought him to the ground, or if a move was made.....i think both.

How thats supposed to be called....not my job

I think it was a td, but im biased

Then you should be delighted in proving us all wrong. Because right now you look like as big a douche as the guy bragging about being friends with the shitty ref.

Show us the rule! If you Google it says you need 7. I'll admit I'm wrong if you show us the rule.

Yeah when they showed the replay a reversal is what I thought was going to happen. Brown didn’t survive through the ground unfortunately.

Not if the WR has already established possession and made a football move, which Brown did. The play was over when he hit the pylon.

Well if you have more or less than 7 on the line of scrimmage it's an illegal formation.


no, it’s not.

you can have 10 on the LOS is you want.
only 2 of those will be eligible receivers though.

Yes I meant to say at least 7 on the line of scrimmage.

Here's my take on this mentality.

2009 in Tuscaloosa, we got screwed by a call probably worse than this one. PP7 intercepted a ball the replay clearly showed as much and they still ruled it not an interception.

We were ahead at the time, got the ball back while ahead, had several other chances to overcome the bad call but basically didn't and Bama whipped us the rest of the game and all we had left was to whine about the bad call costing us the game.

Fast forward to last night - game tied, refs screwed us, we miss the FG then our defense says - oh hell no.......3 and out Clemson's possession then we dominate the rest of the game and win. No excuses, no whining we adapted, overcame and won. Man, I love that.

the rule states “no more than 4 can be backs”

so assuming you have all 11 players on the field, at least 7 of them has to be on the LOS.

Rule 7

Offensive Team Requirements—At the Snap
ARTICLE 4. Violation of each of the following (a-c) is a live-ball foul; the play
is allowed to continue.
a. Formation. At the snap Team A must be in a formation that meets these
requirements:
1. All players must be inbounds.
2. All players must be either linemen or backs (Rule 2-27-4, A.R. 7-1-
4-VIII).
3. At least five linemen must wear jerseys numbered 50 through 79
(Exception: When the snap is from a scrimmage kick formation, par.
5 below.)
4. No more than four players may be backs.

Anything else I can help y'all with?

Assuming. So what happens when a receiver who is supposed to be on the field and isn't?

It's not a foul.
