My 2 cents on question 2.
NF rules: Personal foul on B90 for illegal personal contact (rule 9-4-2e). I remember the NCAA added this rule after Notre Dame beat Michigan 12 to 10 in 1979 I believe (I was only 19 at the time). Michigan was attempting a last second field goal to win the game when Bob Crable, Irish linebacker, stepped on a teammate's back to block the kick.
New rule change for 2003: A may accept the result of the play which is a touchdown and enforce B's foul from the succeeding spot (3 yard line which is the spot of the try; rule 8-2-2).
Just curious, seems like your uncle Ernie's answer gives A the choice of enforcing the penalty on the try or the free-kick. What is the NF rule support for this? I can see where A may not want the distance penalty enforced on the try and this would be a good move to have it enforced on the kick-off. But the NF rule does not seem to support this. Or can somebody lead me to the rule reference...
Looking forward to your next round of questions!
