Gandhi
He and Gus Doras were the first two players in all of football history to use what we call "The forward pass." He also invented the blocking schemes we use today. He invented many other major things in football. Though he was best known for having the highest win percentage ever in football history with 88% at Notre Dame.
When Lou Holtz decided (Not the University) to quit coaching at Notre Dame (1996), his decision was based on refusing to compile more wins then Knute Rockne, who had 105 wins and Lou at that time had 100 wins, he felt if he stayed one more year he would surely pass up Rockne and he felt Rockne made Notre Dame Football what it is today and he refused to do that, that's Integrity!
The duration of The Forward Pass is 1.3 hours.
The Forward Pass was created on 1929-11-10.
An illegal forward pass happens when the QB crosses the line of scrimmage and then passes the ball forward or when a forward pass has been thrown and the player holding the ball passes forward
A backward pass is one that does not go forward. Often, the receiver of a backward pass may then pass the ball forward. Once the ball has been passed forward, it may not be passed forward again during the same play.
The Forward Pass - 1927 was released on: USA: 9 October 1927
A Forward Pass is passing the football to a teammate in front of you. A Lateral Pass is the player carrying the ball passing the football on side or behind him/her.
Only one forward pass is allowed per play where there is no limit to the number of lateral passes per play (a lateral pass being one that travels parallel or backwards to the line of scrimmage). If the pass to the running back is a lateral pass, the running back is allowed to throw a forward pass to the receiver. If the pass to the running back is a forward pass, the running back is not allowed to throw a forward pass to the receiver.
The penalty for an Illegal Forward Pass is 5 yards from the spot of the foul and loss of down.
