Attempting to decieve the defense penalty
- Thread starter af102
- Start date
Tommy West has run that play multiple times at Memphis. He ran it against us in the opener this year as well. The QB is the only player in motion. There is nothing illegal about that.
Rule 9-2-2-VII
Problem is it wasn't a kick formation nor was it attempting to look like a substitution. It was entirely legal. If the RB told the QB to get off the field, then it should be deception. Otherwise it was a really bad penalty.
He was going away from the line of scrimmage which is completely legal. There is no rule that you can't throw your hands up and act like the play is messed up while you're in motion.
As I said, Memphis has used this exact play multiple times without getting called for a penalty. Deceiving the defense is part of the game.
I guess we should've gotten a penalty on our halfback pass against LSU because it's not fair to the defense to fake like you're going to run and then throw a pass.

It's risky, but I've never understood why you never see a center shotgun snap to a runningback while the QB is under center, unless this is against a rule. Does anybody know this?
