	College Football History - By Team

	Snap (American football) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The snap must be a quick and continuous movement of the ball by one or both hands of the snapper ("centre" in Canadian football), and the ball must leave the snapper's hands.
		For a thrown snap, especially in formations wherein the ball may be snapped to players in different positions, the snapper will commonly bend over looking between his or her legs.
		Canadian football used the rugby scrimmage unaltered until near the end of the 19th Century, when, regionally at first, under the influence of the American scrimmage, the number of players in the scrimmage was limited to three -- a "centre scrimmager" bound on either side by props called "side scrimmagers".

	American football - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		American football, known in the United States simply as football, is a competitive team sport that rewards players' speed, agility, skill, tactics, and brute strength as they run and throw a ball, and block, tackle, and outrun each other, trying to force the ball further into their opponent's territory and ultimately into the endzone.
		Football is also occasionally used by followers of the sports of Rugby Union, Rugby League, Gaelic Football and Australian Rules Football to refer to their sport.
		A snap is either a handoff between the legs from the center to the quarterback, or it is a pass between the legs from the center to the quarterback, or possibly to a player other than the quarterback, such as a punter or a holder for a field goal attempt.

	Snap (football)
		The ball is almost always snapped from the line of scrimmage by the Center back to a player behind the line of scrimmage to complete the requirement for a legal play.
		The snap consists of the Center flipping the football backwards between his legs to a player behind the center.
		In a typical play, where the quarterback is receiving the snap, the quarterback will shout a cadence such as, "Down, Set, Hut." The long snap is a variation on the normal snap in which the receiver of the snap is several yards behind the Center.

		He is generally the leader of the offensive team when it is on the field, responsible for initiating play by receiving the snap of the ball from the center.
		After snapping the ball, the quarterback typically attempts to pass the ball or hand it to another player, or attempt to advance it himself.

	College Football Encyclopedia - Introduction
		When the first true football scoring system was devised in 1883 (replacing customary scoring procedures in which one point usually was awarded for advancing the ball across the goal in any fashion), kicking was emphasized.
		Two-platoon football was made possible, with minor restrictions, under rule changes in 1941 but was not really put into practice until the last year of World War II in 1945.
		College football's rich heritage and lore are sometimes lost in these days of emphasizing the present and hyping superstars as "the greatest ever" at running, passing, kicking, or whatever.

		While kicking the football involves the start of every game and after every touchdown, the only kicking that is associated with plays are during punts and field-goal attempts.
		This is called a "snap." When the center actually moves the ball is verbally signaled by the quarterback or whomever will receive the ball at the snap.
		Football rules do not allow teams to call consecutive time-outs with a play being executed in between and unused time-outs in the first half of the game do not carry over to the other half.

	SCRUM (RUGBY) FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The word "scrummage" is a modification of "scrimmage" (which form of the word was previously used in rugby and continues in use in American and Canadian football), which in turn derives from or is cognate to "skirmish".
		The early rules of rugby, even after recodification as "Laws of the Rugby Union" (the term "laws" having been borrowed from the Football Association), said the object of players in the scrummage was to kick the ball towards their opponents' goal line.
		The modern scrummage and ruck, the Rugby League play-the-ball, and the American football snap and scrimmage (later adopted by Canadian football) were all derivatives of the early scrimmage, and responsive in different ways to problems encountered in the way the rules regarding it were written and administered.
