Marshall threw the pass legally. Jay Prosch an eligible receiver being 5 yards downfield blocking while the ball was being thrown was not.

There was an Olineman at least 4 yards downfield and running forward when the ball was released. I wish someone had a still pic of the moment the ball was released.

Nice tackle on that play by Robinson too.

Do you have an angle that shows this? You've said it enough, but do you have a picture?

your meltdown has been extremely entertaining along with the Uga meltdown forum.

that said: Tuscaloosa News: NCAA Officials review of Auburns touchdown pass that tied the game.

pull quote:

der Rule 7, Article 10 of the NCAA football rules manual, ineligible receivers downfield on a pass play can result in a penalty, although linemen can block downfield on a running play.

The issue is how far downfield they progressed before Marshall released the pass.

“No originally ineligible receiver shall be or have been more than 3 yards beyond the neutral zone until a legal forward pass that crosses the neutral zone has been thrown,” Shaw said. “The key word is thrown — it is where the players are when the pass is released.”

None of the Auburn linemen are past the 3-yard zone in a screen shot that has been circulated online among Alabama fans.

As long as those blockers players meet a specific criteria, they are also not guilty of pass interference, according to Shaw.
