You can't report as eligible in NCAA, can you? On a side note, they definitely got their money's worth on that USC!

No, there's no reporting in NCAA, but it looks like it was a backwards pass so it doesn't matter. I don't know how the coach feels, but if I was the player, that is totally worth 15 yards.

Looks like it's thown at the 6, caught at the 7(ish), so it is a backward pass.

They were winning big against an NAIA school on senior day. I haven't actually spoken with the coach, but I'm pretty sure the celebration was pre-approved.
