In the situation about the 12:00 mark, as respects ruling on whether or not a dumped pass reaches the line of scrimmage, would not the U be the logical one to be responsible for that?
Yes it would. It is the U's primary responsibility. However, we wanted the wings to help out on it, particularly as it was the first year of the rule change. But yes, you are correct.
Do we really want to take our eyes off our downfield receiver and turn 180 to look for the pass? That creates too much of a chance for us to be miss action downfield I feel. Not to mention, if you have already turned your hips and trying to look backwards is not going to give a good look.
@@rogalskyj I’m a first year official, so I’d probably tell him to stay off the field and then tell the coach to keep his team in the box. Next time throw the flag. They shouldn’t even be in the restricted area much less on the field. But I’m sure some officials with more experience might have a different perspective and throw the flag right away. There really was no excuse for that… he could see the play was still going on and he just walks right into the field.
Thank you for taking the time and posting these videos. Much appreciated!
Great instructional video. Very helpful. Thanks for posting.
Thank you! Glad you found it beneficial.
Thank you for posting this, I find it very helpful. Is there anywhere to get more info on four man mechanics?
The line judge is watching the ball not his keys on the first play.

At the 43:16 mark..looks like #58(?) comes out on the field during a live ball. Can you have illegal participation?
He didn't influence the play, so not illegal participation. It would be illegal substitution 3-7-6, 5 yd penalty.
@@TombedOrchestra would you flag that or just throw a flag for sideline warning or just talk to them.
