QUIZ #7

Question 1

A 2/10 @ A-35. Team B leads 10 – 7. B42 is offside at the snap. A7 completes a pass to A9 who runs to
the B-40 where he is tackled inbounds with 0:23 remaining in the 2nd quarter.

Answer 1

RULING: A 1/10 @ B-40. Snap/25. Decline the offside penalty. Because Team A is behind in the
score and a penalty has been completed, Team A gets the option to start the game clock on the
snap or ready.

Question 2

A 4/10 @ A-15. Punter A49’s kick is blocked. A89 recovers the bounding ball at the A-4 and his momentum carries him into the end zone where he is tackled.

Answer 2

RULING: Safety. 2 points for Team B. The momentum exception does not apply in this situation

Question 3

A 3/7 @ B-35. A5 runs to the B-29 where a defender strips the ball away from the running back and B35 recovers the fumble at the B-27. B0 was offside at the snap.

Answer 3

RULING: A 3/2 @ B-30. Ready/25.

Question 4

A 4/8 @ A-45. A15’s punt is blocked by B22 at the A-30. As the ball is rolling on the ground, A44 intentionally kicks the ball at the A-32 to prevent B55 from recovering the ball at that spot. The ball rolls out of bounds at the A-40.

Answer 4

Ruling: B 1/10 @ A-22. Snap/25. A44 has committed a foul for illegally kicking the ball. This penalty includes a loss of down.

Question 5

A 4/5 @ B-17. A’s field goal attempt is blocked. B18 muffs the ball at the B-13. The ball rolls out of
bounds at the B-15

Answer 5

Ruling: B 1/10 @ B-15. Snap/25

Question 6

A 4/5 @ B-17. A’s field goal attempt is blocked. The ball lands at the B-15 rebounds to the B-18 where it
is muffed by A89 and subsequently rolls out of bounds at the B-19.

Answer 6

Ruling: B 1/10 @ B-19. Snap/25

Question 7

A 4/15 @ A-45. B2 is deep to receive the kick. During the kick, gunner A3 hits B2 at the B-5, in the head/neck area with his forearm before the ball arrives. The ball is recovered at the B-10 by B1 and returned to the B-30. Replay confirms the targeting.

Answer 7

Ruling: KCI with targeting. B 1/10 @ B-45. Snap/25. A3 is disqualified. Because the targeting is a foul committed by the kicking team, the penalty can be enforced from the subsequent dead ball spot where possession belongs to team B.

Question 8

A 1/10 @ B-20, near hash. QB A8 throws a pass to A88 very close to the far sideline at the B-4. The LJ and FJ rule an incomplete pass, but the FJ has a foul for defensive pass interference. The CJ also has a foul for HTF by the defense. The DPI is enforced, A 1/G @ B-5 - Snap - Near Hash. Replay initiates a review of the play and determines that A88 completed the catch at the B-4.

Answer 8

RULING: A 1/G @ B-2. Ready/25. Far Hash. Because of the replay reversal, the defense will decline the defensive pass interference and instead enforce the HTF penalty half the distance to
the goal.
