I keep hearing "deflection" being used. Is that actually stated in the NCAA rulebook?



The wording implies it, yes.

If so, I would tell my QB that if you are ever in our own endzone and you are being tackled just throw the ball at opposing team member and deflect it off of him to weasel out of a safety.

Easy. Since you are backed up in your own endzone, there will be tons of supposedly "eligible" receivers around so there is no way to tell


Yeah, that'd be a great way to turn the ball over...

Actually, no it doesn't. Christ I can only imagine what it is like playing monopoly in bama with the house rules they come up with.

No it wouldn't. No more dangerous than intentional grounding or an incomplete pass in general. I would say if deflection is the only mythical requirement then throw it off the side of the ref's head or something.

This play was fishy as foooock
