Guys im having some trouble on my NFHS part 1 football exam. ?'s 85-88 are tying me up. I have false for 85 true for 86 i dont have an answer for 87 and true for 88. Now dont laugh at me to much. Can anyone point me to the propper rule and maybe check my answers. Thanks

85. - Rule 9-4-5
87. - Rule 6-2-6
88. - Rule 2-1-3 // 2-40-7

thank you very much

without looking them up I got t,t,t,f. So if I'm wrong 8-P..

85 is true. Contact that displaces the holder is running into the place kick holder which is a 5-yard penalty.

Rule 9-4-5: A defensive player shall neither run into the kicker nor holder, which is contact that displaces the kicker or holder without roughing

true for 86

You are correct. That is one of the listed exceptions for contacting the kicker.

Rule 9-4-5d: other than when:

Contact is caused by R being blocked into the kicker or holder by K.

i dont have an answer for 87

True. Neutral zone cannot be expanded into the endzone. Ask yourself what the purpose of expanding the neutral zone is. Then think about the result of a kick that crosses the plane of the goal line.

Rule 6-2-6

true for 88.

What is the spot of the foul for roughing the kicker? The place where he was roughed, right? Usually about 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage. Where is the basic spot for a loose ball play? The previous spot? Who commits roughing the kicker, offense of defense? The defense. So all fouls by the defense are penalized from the basic spot.

This is enforced from the previous spot and NOT from the spot of the foul.

The answer is false.

See Rule 10-6


Now dont laugh at me to much. Can anyone point me to the proper rule and maybe check my answers. Thanks

The only way we learn is by asking questions. Nobody is going to laugh.

I have the same thing cowbyfan1 has.

87 is true 2-27-2
