Intentional Batting

[Ed Hickland]

A's ball first and ten from their three.

A7 takes the snap and attempts to handoff to A44. Ball pops loose at A's 2 and starts to bounce backward toward the end zone. A32 seeing what is happening hustles to the one yard line and bats the ball back toward the field of play. A32 is flagged for an intentional bat.

From what spot do you enforce the penalty?

Looking for answers from anybody.

it is enforced from the 1 yd line...at first glance it appears to be enforced from the previous spot...however the previous spot is the basic spot...All but one says that you enforce all fouls from the basic spot except those by the offense that occur behind the basic spot. This one fits into the but one category, enforce half the distance from the 1.....

Sounds like a spot foul to me.

Flag for offside pass - if A recovers, A's ball from point of batting.
