Can anyone explain


Sep 30, 2014, 8:05 PM

why the first "tunnel screen" that tarheels ran was not flagged for lineman down field. The receiver was over the line of scrimmage when he caught the ball and three linemen were already downfield blocking. I was under the impression that this was an illegal play because the receiver caught the ball beyond the line of scrimmage.
What am I missing?

The lineman is allowed 3-4 yds.

Thanks. Watching the replay, I thought the linemen were over 5 yards ahead of the play but probably was wrong.

Nah, you were right.***

Rather ambiguous wording for a rule, isn't it?***

I noticed that today.

Two of their down linemen were 6-7 yds down field and one was five-6. Our guy would have most likely stopped the receiver or slowed him down long enough for help had the linemen been legal.

The officials just plain missed a plain violation.
