[QUOTE="GTech63, post: 78505, member: 1683"] Announcers kept saying the NCAA rule was "if it was not clearly forward it is NOT a forward pass." Video replay showed it was clearly not forward. I have not been able to find NCAA rule via Google. NFL rules in my interpretation it would be a backward pass. From [url]http://forum.officiating.com/football/36647-clarification-forward-backward-pass.html[/url] REPLY: Just to further clarify---the NF definitions for forward and backward passes are in 2-31-2 and 2-31-5. The NCAA definitions are in 2-19 2a. Note [LIST=1] [*]there is a fundamental difference between the way that each code determines whether a pass is forward or backward, and [*]in both codes, a pass [I]parallel[/I] with the line of scrimmage (accepting each code's differences) is considered a backward pass for rule purposes.
