re: Last AU offensive play

quote:

---

On the bomb thrown out of bounds, it wouldn't have counted even if an Aub had caught it for a TD. Why not? The refs called ineligible receiver downfield. Why? Because AU started the play with ALL 4 RECEIVERS ON THE LINE OF SCRIMMAGE. None were set back from the line. Which means that the two slot WRs were covered up and ineligible. Yet they went out on patterns like it was how they drew it up. I'm certainly no OC, but I know that rule, yet Loeffler evidently drew up a play where two of the four WRs are by design ineligible and has them run pass patterns. Inexplicable.
