Nope. There is no such rule.  The officials were just making stuff up.

I've seen tons of swinging gate plays where whoever picked the ball up and tossed it to the QB didn't have his shoulders anywhere near square to the LOS

Never seen that call

OK, I was wrong, linemen including the snapper must have their shoulders 'approximately parallel' to the LOS.  Refs made the correct call

SECTION 27. Team and Player Designations

ARTICLE 4. a. Lineman. 1. A lineman is any Team A player legally on his scrimmage line (Rule 2-21-2). 2. A Team A player is legally on his scrimmage line when he faces his opponent’s goal line with the line of his shoulders approximately parallel thereto and either (a) he is the snapper (Rule 2-27-8) or (b) his head breaks the plane of the line drawn through the waistline of the snapper

PAC officiating is/was/always has been slightly skewed. Why people notice their officials on a far more frequent basis then any other conference is interesting. Not just because they fuck up, they do. But so do all of the others as well. But damned if during almost every game there is inevitably a call that catches fans off guard with a WTF was that?
