Example
A's ball, 4th and goal. A30 runs the ball and is stopped short at the 6-inch line. Team A lost the ball on downs. Team B will put the ball in play with the tail of the ball now 6 inches from the goal line. The back stake will mark the spot at approx. the 1/2 yard line (6 in + 11 1/2 inches = 17 1/2 in).
You can't reverse the ball in this situation because you'd be placing half of the ball in the end zone. This situation highlights the fact that you don't move the ball on any other situation following a loss of possession on downs.
