If you watched the Steelers game last night, there were many occasions
when the rest of the OL was a good 2-3 feet behind the center.

NFL officiating standards and college officiating standards aren't quite
the same, obviously.  

I know that in the NFL the linesman puts his hand out to indicate whether
or not the OL players are on the line, I don't know if they do the same
thing in college officiating. 

I don't think we have any current/former college officials on the list
at the moment to give us a definitive answer.  

It could take a half hour of reading through the rulebook to figure out 
whether players in the backfield can come out of a 3 point stance.  (I 
have always had the utmost admiration for coaches like Osborne who study 
the rulebook to look for nuances that they can build plays around.)
