Now, my question is this: Is the penalty marked off from the hashmark (Where the foul occurred) or is it marked off from where the ball was previously spotted (between the hashmarks)?
CANADIAN MECHANIC:

Penalties applied from the PLS are just that - from the Point of Last Scrimmage. The PLS includes two components:
  • the yard line
  • the lateral position of the ball
