Question 63: Fourth-and-Goal on B8. The score is tied with three seconds remaining in the game. On an attempted field goal from the B15, B47 runs from the B11, jumps, and blocks the kick. B47 then lands on B74 on the line of scrimmage. The ball rolls to the B20 where B1 recovers and runs to the A10. Time expired on the play.
Answer Key: A 1&G B4 Extend.
How's that? The line of scrimmage is the B8. B47 runs from the B11, jumps and blocks, then lands on B74. How is this a foul? B47 jumped from behind the neutral zone, not beyond it. I have B 1 & 10 A10. End of Qtr. Move to Extra Periods.
Rule reference 9-1-2-n: No defensive player who runs
forward from beyond the neutral zone and leaps from beyond the neutral
zone in an obvious attempt to block a field goal or try may land on any
player(s).
