I'm not sure what to think of this one... Before I opened my book, I probably would've given B 1st and 10 at the 35... (Basic spot would mean a touchback, and penalize 15 from there...)

Of course, after looking, I see nothing that allows this interpretation... The closest I can find is 10-4-4d, which doesn't apply here because the final result puts the ball at the 2...

That being said, what rule says that the goal line can be used as the basic spot..? (I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm just asking...) As previously mentioned, 10-5-2 comes close, but it doesn't apply since the spot would not result in a safety...

Thoughts..?
