Maybe I am overthinking this but the statement seems false. "The penalty for illegal touching of a forward pass by an ineligible receiver is enforced from the spot of the touching in each case and includes loss of down.." So the basic spot would be where the ball was snapped from... this would be foul by the offense and it COULD happen on, behind or forward of the line.. so if it is a foul by the offense and it happened 10 yards forward then the foul would be FROM the line of scrimmage, if the foul happened BEHIND the line then the spot would be WHERE it was touched.... is this not correct? Because the statement "enforced the spot of the touching in EACH CASE" This is a loose ball play.
