Any Rules people out there?

What is the rule for offensive pass interference on those quick throws to the sidelines? Watching UCF it appears that they put 2 receivers stacked to one side, the front guy seems to be blocking beyond line of scrimmage before the receiver catches the ball. That's legal?

Based on your description it would be offensive pass interference if it’s past the line of scrimmage. But I am watching the game and they do it very stealth like...hard to call that.

The blocking can be beyond the line of scrimmage, it is all about where the ball is caught.

All WR are blockers until the ball crosses the line up scrimmage

I believe it is perfectly legal...they have been doing that for a few years now...

the bubble screens and and now routes are fine and rarely get into the grey area. however, 9 out of 10 RPOs break the rule with OL moving downfield. it's something they will look at once Saban sets his sights on it.
