OK. I would appreciate it if those of you out there who know the answer to this one please refrain from answering until Jim (Rulebook) Nayzium gets a crack at making the correct ruling on this play.
Thank you
SITUATION:
4 and 5 on the 50 yard line.
Score A 7 - B 9.
0:02 Remaining in the 4th quarter
PLAY:
A-1 drops back to pass and finds himself under heavy presure so he elects to run. A-1 runs all the way to the B5 yard line where he is trapped and it is apparent he won't make it to B's endzone so...
He throws a forward pass to A-2 (Number 77) who catches the ball while standing in B's endzone.
The Back Judge throws his flag and signals a touchdown.
Time expires during the down!
What penalty(s) have occurred?
What are the options offered to the offended captain?
How are any penalties enforced?
