I researched this. If ZT cleanly had the snap, ran with it and then fumbled, it would have been blown dead where Evans or anyone else on offense recovered it.Longrifle28 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 22, 2019 12:24 pmNot sure. Only the person that fumbled on 4th down can advance the ball. Not about a bad snap as no one ever had possession.
I think I had forgotten ZT was under center... makes more sense now.WASU 93 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 22, 2019 12:48 pmI researched this.

However, it looks like it was a muffed snap and ZT never had control of the ball. Hence, Evans was the initial “ball carrier” and the play was legit.
So it was essentially a wildcat play.WASU 93 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 22, 2019 12:48 pmI researched this.
