We enforced it correctly, however, my WH reminds me that it was a facemask penalty.

My LJ also e-mailed the following: "I was thinking about this. You would have to repeat the down... Say you had 4th and 10 and the offense goes for it. A running play gains one yard and there is a 5 yd face mask. 5 yds would make it short of the first down. You would have to repeat the down. Say it was 4th and 20 and they go for it. The defense could pull the runner down by the mask at the line of scrimmage and even with a 15 yard penalty they would get the ball. The down has to be repeated."
