Trivia Question: why is a spike/clock play...


Nov 24, 2018, 8:53 PM

...not intentional grounding? The ball never gets back to the line of scrimmage and there are no eligible receivers in the area. Go.

It’s actually it’s own rule.

Immediately upon taking the snap, of the man under center attempts to throw it into the ground, it’s legal.

The main difference between this and intentional grounding is that the quarterback must leave the "pocket" of offensive lineman and throw past the line of scrimmage, so there is no penalty issued. Spiking the ball is also considered to be a legal incomplete pass.

Just like the holder isn’t down when he takes the snap before the kick .. just an exception
