[QUOTE="Illinir1, post: 1821073, member: 4270"] For anyone who doesn't think this was offensive pass interference (I've encountered some non-Illini fans who don't think so, think it was questionably close, or aren't sure), the following is from the 2022 NCAA Football Rulebook. I had to look up the definition of "neutral zone" and it is two parallel lines extending to the sideline, one from the pre-snap nose of the football and the other from the pre-snap tail of the football (on this play it's the 45 yard line stripe): b. Offensive pass interference is contact by a Team A player beyond the neutral zone that interferes with a Team B player during a legal forward pass play in which the forward pass crosses the neutral zone. It is the responsibility of the offensive player to avoid the opponents. It is not offensive pass interference (A.R. 7-3-8-IV, V, X, XV and XVI): 1. When, after the snap, a Team A ineligible player immediately charges and contacts an opponent at a point not more than one yard beyond the neutral zone and maintains the contact for no more than three yards beyond the neutral zone. (A.R. 7-3-10-II) RULE 7 / SNAPPING AND PASSING THE BALL FR-83 2. When two or more eligible players are making a simultaneous and bona fide attempt to reach, catch or bat the pass. Eligible players of either team have equal rights to the ball (A.R. 7-3-8-IX). 3. When the pass is in flight and two or more eligible players are in the area where they might receive or intercept the pass and an offensive player in that area impedes an opponent, and the pass is not catchable.
