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.

Because you can have tackle eligible plays. The entire point of the rule is

Does a tackle have to report as eligible in CFB?

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

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

That makes total sense

SouthernBlueBlood

But that's somewhat true of many penalties.

And the defense would be deceived in covering a man who is ineligible opening up

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

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.

Agree. Illegal formation maybe.... inelligible man down field....

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

Essentially its an intent to deceive in theory
