Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 5069375, member: 974"] I watched the Oklahoma game and it was called on the Sooners. The announcers were talking about there being no player near the throw. But the call was changed when the QB was ruled outside the tackle box. I thought that as long as the QB was outside the tackle box and threw the ball beyond the LOS there was no intentional grounding. Then I watched the UConn game. Near the start of the second half IG was called on the Huskies. The announcers once again talked about there being no receiver near the ball. But Evers was clearly outside of the tackle box, hell, he was outside the TE. The ball was also well beyond the line of scrimmage. But the penalty was marked off. Anyone know the rule? Was it changed? In the old days you had to throw the ball at or in the area of a receiver. For years now, the rule has been outside the tackle box and beyond the LOS . No receiver had to be in the area. [/QUOTE]
