Nfhs overtime

[ilyazhito]

It's on Page 84, and the title is "Resolving Tied Games". There are notes on how the suggested procedure would affect existing rules, and a disclaimer that your state association may change the overtime procedure.

There seem to be some inconsistencies though. On the one hand, the game ends if the defensive team scores a safety or touchdown, but the ball becomes dead as soon as the defensive team gains possession. How does that work? How can the defense score if the ball becomes dead as soon as they possess it?
