After discussion the officiating crew walks off ten yards from the end of the run for the defensive holding. Is this the right enforcement or should the penalty be marked off from the original line of scrimmage?
The enforcement you saw is correct... Had the QB completed a pass instead of running the ball, enforcement would have been from the previous spot... But since this was a running play, the enforcement spot is the end of the run...
Actually, the pass would not have to be completed. If the ball was thrown and the pass complete or incomplete, the enforcement would still have been from the previous spot.
