Re: Offensive P.I. on try.

And I understand that. I just didn't give the question a lot of thought.

However, after having gone back and reading the rule, it really doesn't address the yardage markoff for this foul. It simply says, "If during a successful try, a loss of down foul by A occurs, there is no score and no replay." It actually doesn't say that the yardage isn't marked off.

So, if we're now marking off fouls against the defense on a try, why are we marking them off in a similiar sitch when they are on the offense?
