I couldn't find an exact definition of this rule.Here's the penalty on Barrett (#61) in the 3rd that took away the score by Higgins. Lame way to lose an all-timer TD catch for sure but looks like the right call, strictly speaking.

I still remember that day (I was at work) watching the pregame show with Seneca wearing a Roman toga and all the Heisman hype … only to see Iowa State get absolutely destroyed in Norman.
6-1 (including the robbed FSU game) and riding high … ending the season 1-6 being outscored 275-125.
It’s 3 yardsI couldn't find an exact definition of this rule.
"Ineligible Receivers Downfield
One of the most common penalties called in regard to eligible receivers is the "ineligible receiver downfield."
This rule is in place to prevent offensive linemen from going too far downfield to block before the actual throw.
You will see this penalty called most often on screen passes to running backs, when offensive linemen "release" from their pass-blocking stance to go downfield and try to block too soon.
The rule states that an ineligible receiver can't go outside of the neutral zone before a pass is thrown.
This means offensive linemen must stay within that neutral zone and can't "release" to block downfield on a passing play until the pass is actually released from the quarterback's hand.
When an ineligible receiver downfield penalty is called, it results in the offensive team losing five yards. Whatever play actually happened will be canceled out, and the offense will repeat the down."

What is an Ineligible Receiver? (Full Explanation)
In a football game, not every player on offense is actually eligible to receive a pass. Here's how to know who can and can't receive passes.footballadvantage.com
So, what constitutes "the neutral zone" in this case? Obviously this is different than the 'neutral zone' on an off-sides call.
Did he? Seemed like most plays for him were sweeps or outside zone plays that were dead from the start. We should be running him right up the gut and then mixing in the outside stuff. I don't know why they keep trying to run outside. He does bounce things too quickly, but we're also running outside by design on his carries.I agree but he also did much better just hitting the hole this game. If he can shed his propencity to turn a 2 yard gain into a 2 yard loss, he will be really good. Like a quarterback who refuses to throw the ball away he needs to just take what is there.

The offense wasn't great, but again:
- good UH defense
- offense doesn't travel as well as defense
- first long road trip for all
As underwhelming as most of that game felt, they won it. They played better as the game went on. Lots to learn from on tape.
This team played like a C/C+ overall, and won by 20, on the road. That's not terrible, not at all. But they will have to be better at WV, and at KU, etc.
Also, while I understand and share the concerns about the slow offensive starts, if I was forced to choose between
a) starting hot and then blowing a lead and a game because the team fades in the second half
b) starting slow and then either extending or coming back to take a lead and then winning the game off that
I think b is the much more preferable of the two scenarios to be in. Again, it's not particularly great and may not be sustainable, but I'd much rather be a second half team than a first half team if the team wasn't at a level where they're playing four complete quarters consistently yet.
Great stuff right here.
That's interesting that you'd rather win than lose.

We’re going to need depth at RB. Good to have different styles. Jackson has been impressive. He’s very quick and shifty at the line and second level. Appears Sama needs bigger holes to utilize his straight line speed. He tends to get bumped and tackled or tried to get tot he edge and teams are too quick.It's really strange how different each of our RBs are. But it's a good thing to have.
Take Sama's long TD run for example... I don't think Jackson scores on that. I could be wrong... but I don't think Jackson has the strength to break through those tackles like that.
But Jackson is so much better at finding holes that don't seem to be there than Sama or Hansen can.
