There seems to be some confusion on this type of play. No where in any of the books does it require a penalty for a facemask to be marked off from the end of the last run. The penalty for roughing the passer is very specific in that we are to mark off the penalty from the end of the LAST run if the last run ends beyond the NZ and there has been no change of possession.
Now some may have gotten a different ruling from NFHS but until we receive that ruling in WRITING or YOUR state tells you to do it that way I don't think we can use a ruling like that.
Even if it is true that they want us to rule on facemask penalties like that I would think that it would only apply to the 15 yard penalty because it was a personal foul. This sounds like trying to keep from having bad penalties go unpenalized just like when we have one on the defense on scoring plays.
