Penalty enforcement on Interception

[gtwbam]

B1 intercepts A's pass at A's 10 yard line and returns it for a touchdown.
B2 clips in A's end zone after the interception, but before the score.
What's the ruling?

You would enforce from the all-but-one spot. Since it's a foul by the team in possession behind the basic spot, you would enforce it from the spot of the foul. The spot being in the end zone, it would be a safety.

A's end zone?

B got the ball with clean hands so they keep it. The basic spot is the end of the run, penalizing it from the goal line, so B will have it 1/10 @ 15.

CANADIAN RULING:

We need to know where the ball was when the clip occurred. Since B1 only ran 10 yards (in which A could do anything about), the timing of this play is critical. Let's say, for sake of having a spot, that B1 was at the A-5 yard line when the clip occurred in the EZ.

Penalty is for Blocking From the Rear, 15 yards from Point Ball Held.

Result: Team B 1D/10 @ A-20.

Clock:

• Prior to the 3-minute warning: clock on the RFP
• After the 3-minute warning: clock on the snap

Result if in OT: no TD, go to next series.

Not at all. B got the ball with clean hands. That part of the play, the return, is essentially a running play. The basic spot is the end of the run -- the goal line. The foul occured in the EZ, which is in advance of the EOR. If the foul happened at the 50 it would be judged in relation to the EOR. If behind, it would be a spot foul.

Or this could be one of those times where I overthink things. You can convince yourself that a-n-d doesn't spell 'and' if you think about it too much.

Or people are confused about which end zone we're talking about here, is all. I read it the same way you did. First and ten at the 15 (10 if it's merely a BIB, as I haven't seen an honest-to-God clip in years).

I've seen one in the last 15 years.

Sorry BMR, I meant to quote Boboman's post.

Is that because BBW is so restricted that nobody goes that low?

BBW (block below the waist) or clipping? I saw BBW several times last year.

Bad Moon, welcome!

What's to be confused about? Anyone confused should go back to 1st grade.
