So the scUM Oline comes to the line of scrimmage on 4th and inches and the scUM center moves the ball forward several inches as he puts his hand around the ball. Now the line of scrimmage is at or over the first down. An official spots the move, along with several Washington players. The officials stop the play clock, huddle and the ball is moved back to the original spot. No penalty is assessed.

It sure looked like an intentional move by the center. Can one of you rules experts explain why that wasn’t unsportsmanlike conduct or some other violation?

Yeah, I vaugly remember the Bucks getting dinged for the same thing a year or two ago and it was a penalty.

What other time do the referees stop a play before it starts and don't assess a penalty? Maybe if there's an injury?

Id need to see it but the center is given a lot of lattitude to move the ball around to get a proper grip before the snap. Its not like they're going to move the ball up a foot, yell hike and fall on it for a first down. I mean their first motion is to move the ball back a half yard.
