Title: Snapper pushing ball forward
Post by: ElvisLives on October 12, 2022, 08:07:57 PM

Watching Louisiana vs Marshall, and Marshall is on offense. EVERY time they take their positions at the ball, the snapper pushes the ball at least the full length of the ball forward. One time he moved it a full half-yard forward. They just got a DOF on Louisiana, too. What are the wings thinking? DON’T LET THE SNAPPER MOVE THE BALL FORWARD! Geez. This is fundamental.

Oh, geez. Now Louisiana is on offense and they are doing the same thing.  WTF?

Keep warning the center and don't call DOF if the ball movement puts the defense offside.

One warning. Then illegal snap. Put a stop to that.

Maybe the crew spotted the ball on a line and the snapper was just being helpful by putting it back where the ball actually became dead.  :sTiR: :sTiR: :sTiR:
