Shut it down.  Vomiting is one of the primary signs of a possible concussion.  Our training requires us to immediately send the player in question out of the game to be cleared by medical staff prior to being allowed to return to play.

hahaha I kept watching the QB's slight hip drop and center's head tilt, puzzled, thinking you were asking if either one of those constituted a false start.....then read NVFOA's post. ("Ohhh, there's vomiting somewhere ok ok.")  :)

Shut it down. Had a safety standing next to me do the very same thing. I agree with the protocol to send the player off for evaluation by a "trained" medical expert and allow B to sub in.

So would you shut it down once the play has started? I seem to remember a certain QB after the snap, while looking at receivers, vomiting on the field and then heaved a 60 yard td pass. Oh and that was in a state championship game. :!#

Yeah, I remember seeing that.  He continued vomiting while coming off the field.  On a side note, you'd think the QB would've audibled and changed the play to the TE he was covering  ;D.
