Was going to upload bulletin file, but I can’t seem to figure out how to do it on my IPad. Sorry.[/i]
NCAA Play Situations Bulletin 2
Nothing earthshaking, but some interesting interpretations. The prohibition against a defensive player more than yard beyond the NZ from running forward and making some action intended to cause a false start is somewhat new, but needed.
The confirmation that yard lines are NOT planes is something we have known (or should have known) forever. But, if any coaches or players read these bulletins, then they’ll know, too. (The bulletins do go to each member institution, but who knows who actually get them.). Stretching the ball beyond a yard line doesn’t get you anything.
But, I am trying to imagine how a kicker would kick the ball while moving horizontally or back toward his own goal line from beyond his restraining line? Good interpretation, but I’m having a tough time envisioning the kick action. Just a personal problem, I guess.
