Title: Need Reassurance: defensive penalty behind the line of scrimmage
Post by: animalspooker on September 30, 2017, 08:51:51 AM

I'm pretty sure I know it, but what is the enforcement spot for a live ball foul by the defense, behind the line of scrimmage?  You know how it is when your crew tries to talk you out of something.

End of the run if it was a running play. Previous spot if it was a loose ball play.

All fouls are enforced from the basic spot - end of the run on the running play - except for fouls by the offense that occur behind the basic spot.  Since B committed the foul - end of the run.
