REPLY: grantsrc...and you're right that a facemask against the QB behind the line while he is dropping back to pass is a foul during a running play unless he subsequently throws a legal forward pass. Consider...PLAY: A, 3/10 from A's 20. QB under a rush scrambles to his 3 yardline where he is tackled by B55 who pulls him down by the face mask. RULING: B's foul occurred during a running play right at the end of the run. After enforcement, it will be A's ball, 3rd and 12 from A's 18. They actually lose yardage by accepting the penalty, but at least they get to replay the down. This is for Federation ball. The NCAA rule would enforce this penalty from the previous spot.
