REPLY: I agree with Mike that the last criteria is not written well at all. The biggest problem is that PSK enforcement relies on the concept of possession of the ball once the down ends, but the Federation rules only define possession for live balls. The concept of possession of a dead ball doesn't really exist. I know that there's been a rule change request submitted to the Fed to clean up the wording of this last criteria. I hope it passes. It would most likely end up as an 'editorial change' -- not a substantive rule change.
