Defenseless Player Rules in NCAA Football 2008
The 2008 NCAA Football Rules and Interpretations define defenseless players and list situations where they are vulnerable to serious injury. These include a quarterback moving downfield after handing or pitching the ball, a kicker after kicking, a passer after releasing the ball, a pass receiver distracted or relaxed when the ball is not catchable, a kick receiver focused on the ball’s flight, and a TM player who has relaxed when the ball is dead or out of play.
