Roughing the passer call after a lateral ...

According to Google's AI ...

Roughing the Passer Does Not Apply to Laterals

Under NCAA Rule 2-19-2, a pass is only a forward pass if it initially travels toward the opponent's goal line. Because a lateral travels parallel or backward, it is a backward pass, and NCAA Rule 9-1-9 (Roughing the Passer) explicitly does not apply.

With a non call, we intercept the pass and win the game.

The roughing call wasn’t on the backward pass it was on the forward pass.

It was definitely a double pass. The receiver passed the ball following a backward pass.

So there cannot be roughing on a flea flicker where the QB pitches it back and then it’s pitched back to him?  Of course there can.  Sorry, you are wrong.

Look, I don't know which play you are referring to but I'm questioning the following trick play... Oklahoma quarterback John Mateer threw a legal backward lateral to wide receiver Isaiah Sategna. Sategna was just a receiver catching a lateral... and therefore NCAA Rule 9-1-9 (Roughing the Passer) explicitly does not apply.

Roughing the passer can be called in favor of anyone passing the ball vertically. It doesn’t have to be just for the QB. In this case it was called because of Biles hit on Sategna following his throw.

He was in the air and coming down when the ball was released.  He may be able to soften the blow, but where was he supposed to land?
