The clip with the green jersey is from the Louisville spring game. Most college teams have an intrasquad scrimmage every spring to cap off spring practices and the QBs wear different colored jerseys to stick out as they're not allowed to be hit during these games to prevent major injuries in a meaningless scrimmage.
There is no limit on the number of lateral passes, but there can be only one forward pass in a play, and it must be made from behind the line of scrimmage. In those plays where the team started out lined up vertically, they were merely delaying letting the defense know how they were going to line up. There must be at least seven men on the line of scrimmage. Only the two at the end of the line and the players in the backfield are eligible to receive a forward pass. The five inner players (Center, Guards and Tackles) wear numbers between 50 and 69 and are not permitted to advance beyond the line on a pass play until after the pass is thrown.
A lot of times players get to college and don't get the starting job so they transition to another position. That explains the former QB. Also, when teams line up in a straight line and then spread out into formation, its mostly to catch the defense off guard and sometimes they do that to hide a smaller player behind the big linemen.
the context with the green jersey is the game was a scrimmage with the same teams offense vs defense and the qb wears a different colored jersey so defenders know not to hit him
@5:12 is pretty much spot on, as a defender your job is to read the play before its coming (watch for the strong side etc) so them lining up in unison is basically just to throw the defenders off the read of the play and get them off guard.
2:00 You can pass the ball forward as long as you don’t cross the scrimmage line from where the play started. Anything after the line has to be a backwards pass. Any player can throw the ball but it’s usually the running back or quarterback because they expect the running back to run it so when he passes it the defense gets tricked
Best trick play I've seen was with (I believe) Texas A&M. The Quarterback threw a pass to someone behind the line of scrimmage. The receiver dropped it. While everyone was walking around because the play was over, someone picked up the ball and started walking. A normal thing after a play. Then started running as soon as they had open field in front of them. The failed pass was actually a lateral (They told the refs in advance so they wouldn't blow the play dead.) so it was still a live ball. Best in NFL was Tom Brady standing up in mid count to yell at someone that he lined up on the wrong side. The defense relaxed while he jogged over to the other end, probably thought they'd call a time out because it was taking so long. Then Brady signaled for the snap. Caught the defense completely unprepared and out of position.
The quarterback with the green jumper on was during an inter-squad scrimmage, meaning the team is playing against itself as an exhibition. This is common at the end of spring practice for the NCAA teams to divide up into two colors and draw players to each team randomly for a red versus white game or a blue versus roagne game or whaterver the teams colors are. The fans get a taaste of the team for the coming year.
There are a few limits to trick plays, but not many. One is that you can't use the substitution process to confuse the opposing team - the NFL has some very specific rules around what counts as doing this (a player coming onto the field can't just hang out near the sideline but must come in at least as far as the painted yard numbers), but college just has a general rule meant to cover all such tactics. The play at 4:40 would probably be called back for that under current rules, as the receiver appeared to be heading off the field with everyone else and then stayed on. You also aren't allowed to hide the ball under your jersey or fake a "fair catch" signal on a punt (raising your hand as the return man to indicate that you will not attempt to advance the ball; in return, the defense can't touch you unless you drop the ball). There are a few other tricks that are specifically banned; one of these is the "fumblerooski" (where the player receiving the snap deliberately drops or leaves it for another player to pick up). Another is known as the "Holy Roller", where a player being tackled deliberately fumbles the ball forward. (This is supposed to be ruled a forward pass if the ref judges it to be deliberate, and thus either incomplete or illegal. But there is an additional rule now that a fumble on 4th down cannot be advanced by a teammate; if a teammate recovers it, the ball is dead at either the spot of the fumble or that of the recovery, whichever is further back.) Otherwise, most of the limits come down to the rules around forward passes, which can be summarized as: - Only one forward pass per play, and it must be before the ball crosses the line of scrimmage. (Backward or sideways passes are unlimited.) - Seven players must be on the line of scrimmage at the snap (this is true regardless of whether a forward pass is attempted, but it determines which players are eligible to catch a forward pass). - Only backfield players and the end players on the line may catch the ball. - No player may block downfield before the ball is caught, unless the pass does not cross the line of scrimmage. The five ineligible linemen (who you can identify by the fact that they're wearing jersey numbers between 50 and 79; eligible receivers must wear numbers other than those) cannot be downfield at all until the pass is thrown (again, unless the pass is caught behind the line).
"Green jersey" is a non-contact jerseys (don't hit that player) usually used in practice/scrimmage/none official game (note) it was Louisville Cardinals (in red) Vs. Louisville Cardinals (in white).
Green jersey is likely an intra-squad scrimmage (practice game against your own teammates) before the real season begins. They put the odd colored jersey on the quarterback so nobody hits him.
As long as that running back doesn’t cross the line of scrimmage? He can throw a forward pass. Pass the line of scrimmage you can only lateral the ball like Rugby. The whole defense was defending fourth and inches and they thought the running back was gonna dive for the first down! OOPS!👍
Sports Explained has a great video on RUclips titled NFL Pre Snap Penalties. He explained where and how the offensive players must line up. In all these trick plays with strange formations, the offense was in a legal formation, hence no penalties. Most trick plays occur on third or fourth down.
Forward passes one per play, and only if you haven't crossed the line of scrimmage. Laterals, as many as you want, but a lateral that hits the ground is the same as a fumble.
As long as you have the appropriate number of players on the line and in the backfield, the number of creative trick plays you can run are only limited by the coach's and Offensive Coordinator's imaginations
I understand most of these. But the super 'I'' I never have. And Michigan isn't the only one to have run this formation before the snap. He probably was a quarterback in high school that they converted to a wide out in college. Quarterbacks & running backs do that sometimes but they still practice throwing just in case. Lateral passes are unlimited. Forward passes are limited to only one.
The Punter And Field Goal kicker are normally 2 different people. Kickers kick field goals & kickoffs. Punters punt on 4th down when not in scoring position. You were calling both “Punters”
Love the college football content. You need to pay attention to the scores at the time, and who is playing who (and where) and how much time is left. That factors in. War Eagle.
The Offense has rules in how the line up (Formation) or move before the start of the play which some what limits the creativity for fake plays . Like - illegal Formation - illegal motion
Not one clip from Auburn when they had Gus Malzahn. Kinda not a good video. No “Woody”, “Batman” or Kodi Burns hitting Cam Newton for a TD pass vs Ole Mess.
The green jersey on the QB….🙄 It’s something new. It denotes he isn’t supposed to be touched. Might as well be flag football. When I played in the 80’s and 90’s? Home team wore color jerseys and away teams or visiting teams wore white jerseys. In practices the 2nd squad would put on red mesh shirts over their jerseys for a scrimmage or practice game. Otherwise we all wore the same jersey in games. As it should be….
I'm impressed that you know as much about American football as you do. You've got the terminology down pretty well; understand the nuances; and know a good play from one not so good. How many Aussies are into this game? I know Aussie-rules is an equivalent but not exactly and you all seem pretty AFL crazy like we are up here in Up Over.
You should really watch a video explaining the rules and stuff first. You arent going to understand 95% of what you've just watched. It is pointless. I know you're just trying to give your fans what they want, but they have seen other reactors do the same videos 100 times. They watch the same videos 100 times 😂 Learning though the comment section is going to be exceptionally difficult. Watch a video explaining stuff, watch a few games by yourself, where you can concentrate [they have condensed games under an hour on youtube, acc] and you will learn. And there's hardly any situation where knowing rugby or soccer come into play.. a lot of people make the mistake of watching it with those 2 sports at the forefront of their brain, comparing everything to them, and it's stupid. Football is a chess match with car crashes, hand to hand combat and elite quickness and speed all at the same time. It is chaos to the untrained eye. It takes time.

The first play was Brad Wing, an Aussie that played for LSU. He was also the first ever player to be called for taunting... On that play.

I think a guard can be designated as an eligible receiver, but you have to tell the ref before the play and of course, he can't be covered up.
@@buddystewart2020 In the NFL, yes. But not in college - a player wearing an ineligible number is ineligible no matter what.
I'm newer to football, but you literally just gave the most clear explanation of the eligible receiver rule i've heard. Didn't quite get it until now.
@@danbaker300 ... Roger that. I most def don't know the rule book by heart, easy for me to get the rules mixed up between the two.

The cyclone siren is a tornado siren. Iowa state sets off the sirens after every score, I was at that game.

Sometimes an effective fake only needs to fool one person. But the best fakes fool everyone, including the broadcast crew and the cameraman.

Forward passes, you get one from behind the line of scrimmage. But backwards? However many you can get away with before someone gets flattened.
As many as you want.
@@supersasukemaniac The defense might have a say on that :)

Well, to be fair,it is a scrimmage game. Why risk your QB getting hurt in a game that doesn't matter, outside of position battles?
