Therfore, I think if a foul is to be enforce from the PSK spot in an overtime period, the foul would not be penalized.
If you think about it, to be PSK the foul must occur beyond the ENZ. In a game winning FG situation how much activity happens that far down field?

REPLY: STEVED21, my comments were being made specifically in the context of NCAA rules and a response to the post by TxMike. In NCAA rules, PSK
is listed as an "exception" to the standard enforcement procedures for fouls during kick plays which typically dictate previous spot enforcement--just like the Federation. I haven't yet received my NFHS books so I was unaware of their comment about PSK
not being an exception. Interesting that unless the Federation changed 10-3-1a and 10-4-2b, PSK becomes a
de facto exception regardless of what they choose to call it.
As far as your other comment about fouls by R during a kick try or during an unsuccessful FG attempt in OT being "ignored" or "declined by rule" please consider this: In order to apply PSK enforcement to a Team R foul, the foul must occur prior to the end of the kick and the following criteria must be met. Humor me since I don't have my Federation books yet.
1. Foul occurs beyond the expanded neutral zone
2. Kick must cross the NZ
3. Team K does not have possession at the end of the down
4. Must not be during a try or FG in OT
If a team R foul before the kick ends fails to meet either of the first three criteria, we penalize from the previous spot, correct? Why, when it fails to meet criteria #4, would we just choose to ignore it? What makes that criteria so special?
