Improper Enforcement of Pass Intereference
Somebody with a little more experience than I have, please tell me if the pass interference play at the end of the Clemson-Alabama game was as badly messed up as I thought. The official threw the flag for pass interference at the 1 yard line and the replay clearly showed that is where the pass interference occurred. By the time the Clemson receiver got to the goal line, there was no contact at all be tween the receiver and the Alabama DB with about a yard separation between. Why did the referee call pass interference in the end zone? The correct call should have been pass interference at the 1 yard line as that is where it occurred and the official properly threw his flag spotting the foul at the 1 yard line but the referee called pass interference in the end zone. Isn't the official supposed to throw the flag and mark the spot of the foul? That is what it looked like he did but they made the call as if it occurred in the end zone. That is a really big screw up because had it been pass interference at the 1, wouldn't the penalty be enforced as half the distance to the goal from the previous spot which places the ball out at more like the 5 yard line doesn't it? (I don't remember exactly where the play started from but I think it was out at the 10 or so.)

Spot Clarification
Thanks for the clarification on spotting the ball. What I saw just didn't jive with what the referee called when he said pass interference in the end zone. Just one more clarification, is that the proper procedure for the official to throw the yellow flag to mark the spot of the foul or am I just imagining that?

Other flags (dead ball fouls, for example) are typically thrown high in the air. |

I saw a flag thrown at the 2 if you look at the pylon cam. There might have been two different flags on this play.
Peace
