NF 8-2-1a ...It is a touchdown when a runner advances from the field of play so that the ball penetrates the vertical plane of the opponent s goal line.


NF 8-4-1...“A field goal is scored as follows:
c...The kick shall pass between the vertical uprights or the inside of the uprights extended and above the crossbar of the opponent s goal.”

I read this to mean the whole ball. Otherwise it’d be written more like 8-2-1a, and say something like the ball penetrates the vertical plane of the crossbar
I knew it was the whole ball, but it just did not say it. Thanks for the confirmation
