A's ball, 1/10 on their own 5. A1(qb) drops back to pass in to the endzone. B1 flushes A1 out of the pocket and chases him down. A1, is trying to get out of the enzone to avoid the safety. A1 is hit and as he is going down stretches the ball out over the plane of the goal line just before his knee hits in the endzone(just like he was stretching for a td but in reverse)
Safety or ball on the 1 foot line where it was when his knee hit? A's ball 2nd down.
I would think safety but I am a first year wingman and appreciate the great comments on this board.

Remember, the ball is placed at the spot is is at when the knee hits the ground. Now, I explain it like this: Think of a big bubble streatching across the goal line (coming form the field of play into the end zone.) The ball is a needle. IF any part of teh ball (needle) touches the goal line (bubble) it pops. IF it pops, TD. On a saftey question, think in reverse; if any part of the needle is still inthe bubble, it will pop, saftey. Hope this helps.
