Weird: Is There A Penalty for Just Standing There and Freaking Everyone Else Out?

The thing is, this is so odd, I think we can take this out of the category of "doesn't know the snap-count" and safely put it in the category of "is suffering from delirium due to concussion or heat stroke."

Still... weird to watch.

Old? And Deliberate? Moron #321451 says...

FSU's been doing the freeze all year.
It's to draw attention to defensive encroachment

Usually the whole front line stays still. This guy was doing EXACTLY what he was told.

Lorien says so too. Something like, if the defense jumps offsides, but you're all just standing there stone-still, the refs can't possibly call the false start on you.

Kind of seems odd to be still standing there when a live play is unfolding and people are hunting your quarterback like it's The Most Dangerous Game on astroturf.

I continue to be baffled, myself.

Thanks to rdbrewer.
