Legal play
« on: October 23, 2013, 09:16:25 AM »
Team A is set at the LOS, at the snap a lineman, the right guard, pulls and goes behind the QB for a backward handoff running to the left. He never completely faces his goal line. He gains 6 yards. Legal?  (The rule book deals with a lineman facing his own goal line before receiving a forward handoff, but not a backward handoff.)

You've posted your question in the "General" section. Do you have a particular rule set in mind?

NFHS 7-3-1: "Any player may hand the ball backward at any time."

Your play is legal.
