0 Bobref Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 If the defense has 12 in the formation, we’d hope that the back judge would catch that pre-snap and flag a dead ball illegal substitution, which is only 5 yds. Sometimes, especially on a punt when the back judge is 50 yds. from the LOS, it can be very difficult to get the count, then re-count if there’s 12, and get the play shut down before the snap.
