Illegal Forward Pass Situation
NCAA-
A's ball 4th and 12 on B's 47. A2 catches A1's pass at B's 31 where he immediately gets hit. Before being tackled, A2 throws the ball to A3 who is at B's 29 and who then runs and is tackled at B's 26. What is the result of the enforcement?

What game was this?? I had this very play emailed to me by a friend in Texas.
The ilegal fwd pass penalty is enforced from the spot of foul ((B31). The 5 yards puts it at the B36, short of the line to gain (B35). Ball goes over as the penalty includes loss of down. B 1 and 10 at B36. |

Oh oh!!! You have been corrupted by the media!! ;-) "forward lateral" ?!?!?!?!?
You have a flag at the spot of the illegal forward pass..no need for a bag. You would need a bag if the pass was ruled a backward pass (or a "lateral" if you prefer ;-) ) |

Everyone is correct, but you tend to second guess yourself on the last play of a 1-point game on a call that isn't made everyday. Fortunately, I have a very experienced and knowledgable crew to hold my hand and keep me smart. And of course, as soon as you realize what's about to happen when you enforce the penalty, you already know to start walking toward the sideline because the coach is going to want to talk about it.

I know it's motherhood to point this out, but I know from posts in other forums, the LOD provision had messed up some of the enforcements or at least were questioned by the poster.
As pointed out, if the line-to-gain point has been reached after the yardage enforcement, the LOD provision does not apply. Otherwise, the LOD provision kicks in and could possibly cause the ball to be turned over to team-B. In the heat of the battle, that can be forgotten. Especially if some coach starts questioning your enfrorcement. Nah, they wouldn't do that would they. |

During this particular play, you can bet it was questioned by the coach!!!
