Distant memory but I think Nebraska or someone ran that play in the '70's. They made sure to meet with the officials ahead of the game to explain what they were going to do so it wouldn't get blown dead inadvertently.
Looks like this change in 2005, but previously in HS football you could make 2 forward passes in the same play if the first was caught behind the line of scrimmage. I remember Eden Prairie ran it and had same conversation with referees prior to the game.
