Thamks Ed , that makes it clear now.
You are correct about NCAA and exceptions.
ENZ is like the legal clipping zone under NCAA. 10 yds wide,
6 ydr. deep centered on the center of the off. formation. Another exception! Also a legal blocking zone (same size) for
blocking in the back. Another exception!
Also a blocking below the waist zone 7 yds. in any direction from the center of the off. formation behind the nz and 10 yrd. beyond the nz. Another exception!
Three exceptions on the same play. Factor in holding,chop block ( high-low, low- high, low-low), blocking toward the original position of the ball, was the blocker in motion at the snap, gives the R and U lot to do for the first 5-8 seconds.
And BJ #itches about how rough he has it.
PSK just uses the LOS or NZ as beyond or behind.
Looks like to me the new Fed PSK rule will require changing some wording or add an exception.
NCAA has the exception worded so "clean hands" can apply also, by including "on any change of possession".
Don't know if Fed includes this.
PSK is easy to enforce. 4 conditions must be met.
1. the foul is by Team B (R)
2. the foul takes place during a scrimmage kick play ( not the try) in which the ball crosses the netral zone.that is at the time the foul takes place the ball has not come into player possession or is dead by rule.
3. the foul occurs three yards or more beyond the NZ.
4. the ball belongs to team B(R)when the down ends.
If the kick ends in B's end zone the 20 yd line is taken as the end-of-the-kick spot.
Scrimmage kick plays begin at the snap and ends when ball becomes dead by rule or is in player possion.
Thanks again, Bluduc
