I believed they tacked this one on to the end of run. Not sure why the throw to the spot but he threw that flag long before the QB took off, just an unbelievably lucky shot.
I think this brings about an interesting discussion in flag-throw philosophy. I say this because I've done NFHS rules, as well as Canadian ones. The latter works much differently, with application at a number of different points - but usually PLS and point ball held. However, why bother throwing the flag into a mound of players for additive fouls (UR for us in most cases and OC; PF and UC for you.) I mean, 30 yards is a hell of a long way to throw a flag.
Additionally, I have heard of a general philosophy that one should not call a foul that occurs at a distance greater than one can hurl a flag. This is obviously an exception.
