Title: Good pre-game question
Post by: ck4597 on October 19, 2012, 07:29:22 AM

Thoughts on the follwoing pre-game question...

A 1&10 A20. Wide receiver A82 leaps to catch a pass near the sideline at the A38. He realizes he cannot get a foot down inbounds, so he throws the ball (while still airborne) toward end A88 at the A42. B22 deflects the ball at the A42, after which A88 catches the ball and is tackled at the A48.


By definition catch was not made - Illegal forward pass by A82???

You've answered your own question.  How can you pass a ball you don't possess?

Maven has pointed you to this exact same discussion that we have had in the last few days.  Did this question recently show up on a test somewhere?
