Yes… but the above post is why… a defense can read an alignment and determine

If someone isn’t eligible and they set their defense that way.

If roberts is off the LOS, then the defense should know Rex is eligible. When roberts covers him they know Rex is a blocker, so it may flip their coverage, it may change where the blitz is coming from, etc.

Why is illegal touching such a bad penalty to deserve loss of down and yards?

My guess would be the same logic behind intentional grounding

Intentional grounding I get- you knew you were doing it and so you don’t get a do over.

Often times it's called in the same situation.

Intentional Grounding is actually a penalty with no impact.

But you're preventing the offense from being able to cheaply avoid the sack

Only if he is more than 10 yards behind LOS

One reason I can think of — is so coaches don't try to sneak one past the refs.

Does a tackle have to report as eligible in CFB?

The guy shouldn’t be there; if he weren’t there, the ball would hit the ground

That makes total sense

But that's somewhat true of many penalties.

Arkansas one was actually an OL who caught it; also, KJ was probably down...

9/18/23 8:25am

So Rex needs to stop catching them and it's just 5 yards?

Utesaretheworst

No, the receivers/backs need to learn not to cover up the TE. It's inexcusable for them to not understand their

Well yew, but my point is that we are getting extra penalized for catching it.

Utesaretheworst

9/18/23 11:57am

Yeah, but Isaac Rex has no idea at the time the ball is thrown to him that he's an ineligible receiver.

IdahoCoug

9/18/23 12:05pm

Because the defense reads who's on the line and who can be in pass patterns.

I don't know if I agree, but the theory must be the same as grounding

Illegal Touching by an Ineligible Receiver results in loss of down
