Need some help on a play.
Following their touchdown, team A lines up in a swinging gate for the try. #80 takes the
position of a snapper with his hand(s) on the ball in the center of the field while #5 and #10 take
the normal position of a holder and a kicker establishing a scrimmage kick formation. There are
5 offensive teammates numbered 50-79 lined up to #80’s left near the numbers on the field and
legally on their line of scrimmage plus #85 on the left end of the line of scrimmage. #22 and
#25 are lined up as backs also to the left near the field numbers. Following the ready, the 8
offensive players near the field numbers legally shift much closer to the center of the field but
all 8 are still to the left of #80, #5 and #10 and legally set. Holder #5 has his knee(s) on the
ground and #10 is in position to kick. Prior to the snap, #10 goes in legal motion straight to his
right away from the rest of his teammates and after several steps, the ball is snapped directly to
the holder. #80, #22, #25 and #10 then go directly into B’s end zone as #5 rises and reverses out
to his right looking for 1 of these 4 eligible receivers. He does throw a legal, forward pass to
#80 who catches the pass for a successful 2 point try. This is in fact a legal and successful try.
True or False???
85 51 52 53 67 75 80
22 25
5
10
I believe this is legal, unless the motion by 10(kicker) means this isn't a legal scrimmage kick formation, therefore when 5 receives the snap with knee on ground he is down. Any help would be appreciated.
