The enforcement spot for a penalty committed by a team in its own end zone toward the end line is a safety. If A wants to accept the penalty, the end of the run and the spot of enforcement according to the all-but-one principle is the end zone. A foul by B is enforced from the end of the run.
Remember, if A76 holds B75 in the A's end zone, the result is a safety. Why? Because the spot of the foul is behind the LOS and in the end zone. |

Wrong
How is it that you can give A a safety in B's Endzone. The rule that you are trying to follow is a rule for offensive penalties. In this case A has scored a touchdown and they will be awarded six points. The question is on the enforcement. The answer is there is none.

Remember Zeke said in the original question months ago B facemasked A who somehow still managed to score. (Got to recruit that guy) Now A has a few problems with extra points and they seem to kick it to the kid that runs through them like a hot knife thru butter. And what Zeke wanted to know how you could enforce a penalty on B. Remember, until this year A would have had to take the touchdown and kick it to B. A now has a choice of accepting the penalty. But the enforcement spot is in the endzone -- a foul by B is enforced at the end of the run. Apply Fund 47, after all the spot is in B's endzone. You cannot walk off yardage. But remember a foul by a team in it's endzone is always a safety. It seems strange to me a team would give up 6 points to keep possession of the ball. But I have seen such in my years. So, if this happens to you, a foul against B where the enforcement spot is in the endzone. Award a safety. Also, take a look at NFHS Part 2 question 56. If only the football was not elongated. |

This topic has gotten a "little" silly.
Ed, the end of the run is the goal line, not the end zone, and I surely would not give the option of a safety. I'm not going give A any option in this case. There's no enforcement spot. Surely, this was an oversight to the Rules committee, and I'm not looking at it any differently than if K kicked off from R's 20 (after a series of dead ball penalties on R) and the ball rolled out of bounds untouched by R at R's 3. The 25 yards from previous free kick line is not an enforceable spot, so I won't offer it as an option to R. |

Re: Re: Re: Re: Wrong
Okay Ed, you're not drunk but you're defnitely confused.
There's no way on earth this play is a safety. It's a touchdown. The foul by B when the ball is in B's EZ only applies when B has the ball. B doesn't have possession of the ball nor did they force a ball from the field of play through their EZ. A has the ball. For that reason alone, you can't have a safety.
