I wouldn't care one way or the other regarding the force-out, but I hope that they leave the 5-yard facemask foul in NFHS. High School players need to learn to stay off the facemask at ALL times, even if they don't twist it.

There is no force out rule in Fed. football. A player must come down with at least one foot in the field of play prior to any part of his body or ball touching the ground out of bounds. The NCAA is the same way, so this is the NFL following the direction set by these other two rule sets. Though the NFL would not look at it this way.
