2. 2nd and 10 for team A
from A’s 10-yard line. A1 receives the snap and runs for 3 yard gain,
when B5 illegally bats the ball out of A1’s hand, and it falls to the ground.
A) B5 is flagged for illegal batting.
B) B5 is flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct.
C) Legal play.
B5 is flagged for illegal
batting. This foul carries two options for penalty enforcement:
a. The foul occurred during
a running play, so the 10-yard penalty is enforced from the end of the
run. The ball will be placed on A’s 23-yard line, and team A is awarded a
new series, 1st & 10. Because the spot of enforcement was beyond the
line of scrimmage, the run is now closed. (see 2.10.3)
b. Team A may choose to
have the foul enforced from the previous spot, and retain their scrimmage
running play for possible use later during the possession. The ball will
be placed on A’s 20-yard line, and team A is awarded a new series, 1st &
10. Because the spot of enforcement was not beyond the line of scrimmage,
the run remains open. (see 10.4.3.d)
3. TRUE or
FALSE? No substitutes shall enter during a down.
TRUE.
(3.5.1) Between downs, any number of eligible substitutes may
replace players.
