Good posts, sears & mathews. I found the rule on awarding a new series and I get it. 5-1-2a and 5-2-3
Let's make sure everyone who read this thread understands this (including me
). By the way, that editorial change "dead-ball foul
by B" was just added this year, so I don't understand why there's no updated case play (unless I overlooked).
Situation: 2nd & 3 at A's 24. A21 runs for a gain of 6 and then A67 piles on.
My understanding: Because the LTG was reached by live-ball action, A will be awarded a new series. Since the dead-ball foul by A occurred prior to the RFP, the chains will not be set until after penalty administration. 1st & 10 at A's 15.
Anybody agree or disagree?
