This is indeed a change for 2003. But I don't have my books either! lol

The change involves the fact that a penalty on the defense on a scoring play would go unpenalized.
A7 breaks away for a 80-yard toucdown run. Five yards past the LOS, B56 takes advantage of A65 with a devasting otherwise legal hit that is ruled unnecessary roughness.
Last year the penalty would be waved off.
This year A can choose to have the penalty enforced from the succeeding spot.
