The passer to conserve time throws the ball directly to the ground 1 after the ball has already touched the ground; or 2 not immediately after controlling the ball.
So spiking is legal only if the snap was not fumbled, unlike the NFL. Local games have featured a QB taking a shotgun snap even to kneel down at the end of the fourth quarter. However, spiking the ball from this formation has been illegal until now. Spiking after scoring After scoring a touchdown, players often celebrate by spiking the football, though this action is not legal in NCAA football, as the scoring player is immediately obligated to either leave the ball or return the ball to an official.
No high stepping when no one is around you. Quarterback: The leader of the team. He calls the plays in the huddle, yells the signals at the line of scrimmage, and receives the ball from the center. Sure looks like it, unless it was one of the biggest route mixups ever. Grounding is always a live-ball foul, and it always stops the clock. But if a team gets a grounding penalty in the last minute of either half, the defense has the option to run 10 seconds off the remaining time.
This rule was famously, wrongly applied at the end of a Central Michigan-Oklahoma State game in The NFL also has a second runoff for grounding calls in the last two minutes of a half. At both levels, if the offense has timeouts remaining, it can use one to avoid the runoff.

Yes, we understand that. The reason that its allowed is because everyone was trying to get the offenses to score more and this allowed clock management and first downs but penalized simply throwing the ball away not scoring In the end its a ridiculous rule differential and only promotes offense and holds defenses.
Unfortunately its too risky to make a tackle or touch the QB. So just let them score and hope we can score more. That's the new era of the NFL. Remember when passing was rare?
Neither do I but ask your father BUT, I feel like, in last night's game, with sec left in 4th quarter, pass was thrown out of bounds to stop the clock. I would argue he was still in the pocket, so this "in the pocket" aspect is kinda hazy, or was it not required? Sign up to join this community. The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.

Because of this rule and its interpretation, if there are less than 3 seconds left on the clock, the team cannot spike the ball. If the clock shows only 1 or 2 seconds the offense can only run one play. Now the reason for a lot of this confusion was a play that OSU had near the end of the 1st half and spiked the ball on 1st down with 11 seconds left on the clock.
The strange thing is they spiked the ball while in shotgun formation, something that isn't usually seen. The play can be seen here. If you are reading this on a mobile device, go to the mark to see the play.
Now that we have seen the rules about intentional grounding, should that play have been called as such? And what makes clocking the ball allowed under the intentional grounding rules? Condition I mentions an eligible receiver, and there was a back near Rudolph when he spiked the ball. It wasn't third down so none of those conditions apply in this situation. The one thing that is the most strange is the formation OSU is in, shotgun.
In the NCAA rulebook nothing mentions if the quarterback has to be under center to spike the ball legally. However, the NFL is a different beast altogether. While it would be nice if the rules were the same on Saturday afternoon as they are on Sunday, this is not the case. Definition - It is a foul for intentional grounding if a passer, facing an imminent loss of yardage because of pressure from the defense, throws a forward pass without a realistic chance of completion.
A realistic chance of completion is defined as a pass that lands in the direction and vicinity of an originally eligible receiver. Item 1 - Intentional grounding will not be called when a passer, who is outside, or has been outside, the tackle position throws a forward pass that lands at or beyond the line of scrimmage, even if no offensive player s have a realistic chance to catch the ball including when the ball lands out of bounds over the sideline or endline.
If the ball crosses the line of scrimmage extended beyond the sideline, there is no intentional grounding. If a loose ball leaves the area bordered by the tackles, this area no longer exists; if the ball is recovered, all intentional grounding rules apply as if the passer is outside this area. Item 3 - A player under center is permitted to stop the game clock legally to save time if, immediately upon receiving the snap, he begins a continuous throwing motion and throws the ball directly into the ground.
Item 4 - A passer, after delaying his passing action for strategic purposes, is prohibited from throwing the ball to the ground in front of him, even though he is under no pressure from defensive rusher s.
Well the NFL definitely defines the rule a lot better than the NCAA does, as well as explaining why spiking the ball is allowed, and when it is allowed to spike the ball.
