I trusted that they hadn't written a rule that overlooked the possibility of a turnover but just wanted to make sure. Otherwise that must be one of the most severe, and clearly written, special case rule I have heard of.
My thought has always been, using NF rules, that if we didn't award the TD to first go to the spot where the first chance for a legal tackle would have been. Then mark off at least 15 yards from that point and repeat the down.
It's nice to hear how another set of rules deals with this situation.
