Title: QB spike/preserve time question
Post by: Texas_Newbie on October 03, 2018, 11:34:15 AM: Team A in hurry up offense with no time outs...QB in shotgun formation, get the snap, immediately spikes the ball to preserve time. Good, or no good?

Nothing requires there be a hand-to-hand snap for the passer to legally throw the ball to the ground immediately after controlling the ball on the snap. It just can't touch the ground between the snap and the throw, or be controlled by anybody else before he throws it. AR 7-3-2-VI

What? A coach that doesn't know the rules? The heck you say....
