Little help

REPLY: The way I read NF 10-6 is all related to enforcement spots. It seems to say that unless a special enforcement spot is specified in 10-4 or 10-5, then the following procedure prevails: Enforce from the basic spot or from the spot of the foul if the penalty is by the offense behind the basic spot. Since 10-4 and 10-5 says nothing about a special enforcement spot for this situation, then all-but-one enforcement should rule. Yes, 10-4-5 does talk about a 'special' basic spot for enforcement, but not about a special enforcement spot. Therefore, your foul--by the offense--behind the basic spot (B's 20) becomes a spot foul and results in a safety.

For those who are saying that they believe that the penalty should be enforced from B's 20, how would you handle the same play if, instead of B's foul occurring in the endzone, it occurred on B's 1 ?
