Glenn, you know more about the rules than me, but the way it was explained to me is that the jersey number rules do not apply on punts or PATs. This was a PAT, so the snapper's number didn't make him eligible. As the snapper, who was covered by other linemen (not a swinging gate)he was ineligible regardless of his number.
Loss of down, game over.
Snapper is Not Offical Center and Snapper have #3 Not 50-79 Number it in Rule Book
According to 7-2-5b I would say yes he is eligible as long as...
1. snapper has an eligible number and is on the end of the line...and...
2. it is done on 4th down or a try FG ...and...
3. its not done on 1st, second or 3rd down...and...
4. the snapper is not replacing one of the #50-79 guys. (But, we have all seen #50-79 guys legally line up on the end of the line and..the clincher...it may be hard to convince a coach that the opppents normal snapper is not usually a #50-79 guy who was replaced by #3 who caught the pass and scored the winning point
If everybody read 7-2-5 b Rule in Book it in Black and White in Rules Book
Why Nobody Dont try it bc their think it not legal Play But if you read the Rules 7-2-5b in Book it say it there
No matter if Holder Get bad snap from Snapper his can still go out for Pass Bc #
