RTP passed the LOS

NCAA: same as Fed.

Under NCAA rules RTP is a "basic spot" enforcement, therefore on this play 15 yds previous spot automatic 1st down. If the pass is completed beyond the NZ then its 15 yds tacked on to the end of the last run, automatic 1st down.

Unless I'm missing something, you've got offsetting fouls - the passer was beyond the line when he got roughed.

Duh! Sorry. Misread the original post. Yes the enforcement spot is the previous spot in NFHS.

This was to prove a point. A fellow official insisted that since this foul occurred beyond the LOS, that it should be enforced from that spot, and not the previous LOS. Thanks guys.

REPLY: Now there's a guy who needs to get his head back into the rule book.

This is a great example for all those officials who insist penalty enforcement is always, "whatever hurts them the most." I'm sure McCrowder's official was doing the same thing.
