Interception in the EZ
Forward pass is intercepted by the defense in the EZ. Player has jumped in the air to intercept the ball, returns to the ground, takes a couple of steps (still in the EZ) and stops. Is the play over at that point, or can the player start running again towards his EZ? Would this be like a punt (live ball) that is rolling and then comes to rest (w/o being touched) and then the play being whistled over.

Canadian Ruling
Quote:
Yup, B player can run it out, but he shouldn't. Remember, our EZs are 20 yards deep, so it's possible that B is far from the GL. If B does run it out, the ball is scrimmage from where he is tackled. If he goes OOB, to a knee, or is tackled, it is B 1D/10 @ B-20. Although this is like a touchback, we do not have a term for this awarding of the ball to B. If B fumbles, then A can recover for a TD, or B can recover for the same rulings as paragraph 2. A foul by B in the EZ is applied from the 20 yard line.

This is from another post, but could apply here...
Part of AR 8-6-1-II says "However, if in the judgment of the official there is perceptible time during which the team B player made no attempt to advance after the interception declaring a touchback is justified." |
