[Husker] Finally watched

[Andy Knipp]

If I remember the rule, the players hand (in a 3 point stance) must be in
front of the center's feet.  Not certain how the 2 point stance is ruled
(obviously that is subjective). A player in a 3 point stance is set when the
hand goes down (and cannot move then), the 2 point stance, they must be
stationary for 1 second before the snap.

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.)
