If your buddy was the L, that sum***** can fly!!! I recall on one interception he reversed field and really zipped quite a distance to the goal line!!

Yep, spot foul. Only time 1/2 the dinstance would kick in there would be if you had a situation where you judged the pass was illegal for something other than just to conserve yardage. Ex: QB was grounding the ball to save time. Since that carries a 5 yard penalty from spot of foul, you might only be able to go 1/2 the distance from spot of foul depending on where foul took place.
