Best Answer

short yardage/ first down = run

2nd/3rd & long = Pass

(It would be easy to defend against this kind of play calling. A good QB knows how to throw the defence off balance. If it's second and long, the defence expects a pass, and so rushes the quarterback and sets a zone pass defence. This is a perfect time to run a draw play. If it's first down, fake the handoff to draw the linebackers close to the line of scrimmage and throw a quick pass)

Is a pass behind the line of scrimmage a run or pass?

It depends on where the quarterback is standing in relation to the receiver. If the pass is forward, it is still a pass even if the receiver is behind the line of scrimmage. If the pass is backwards, it is considered a lateral and therefore a run.

What is the difference between a run and a pass in football?

A forward pass is when a player, behind the line of scrimmage, throws the ball to a teammate such that the ball goes 'downfield' or forward even by inches. A team may attempt one forward pass per play only. Any other means to advance the football is a 'rush' or 'run' play, even if the ball changed hands, or was thrown a long distance in a sideways or backwards fashion.
