According to the rules, it is considered a pass until it is dead.

The rules also state that the snap is a backwards pass. Consider a shotgun snap over the QB's head. That's a live ball and can be advanced.

Or

SECTION 23. Snapping the Ball
Approved Ruling 2-23-1
I. Fourth and goal on Team B’s five-yard line. A55’s legal snap is
muffed by A12 and (a) any player of Team A recovers and advances
the ball into the end zone, or (b) a player of Team B recovers and
advances the ball. RULING: The snap is a backward pass and may
be advanced by any player. (a) Touchdown. Since this is a backward
pass and not a fumble there is no restriction on a Team A player
recovering and advancing the ball. (b) Ball continues in play.

havent read whole thread but dont want to start a new one.....what about Halapio or whatever his name was making the tackle on the LSU DLman on that TD on the left side in the 3rd I think ....replay showed his left arm wrapped around the waist of the guy as he was going for the tackle on Burton I think it was then right arm grabbed him around the back of the knees and basically picked him up and slammed him then UF back just cruised in behind him
