face mask
Quarterback drops back to pass and is tackled by the face mask - 20 yards behind the line of scrimmage. Where is the penalty administered from - spot of foul or previous spot? Federation rules only.

it will seem unfair but the penalty will be enoforced from the end of the run.
it was intended to be a pass play (loose ball play) but it never occurred. so you have either 5 yards or 15 yards from the end of the run replay the down.

It isn't that unfair. Why is the QB standing 20 yards back and why are his blockers letting B to get close enough to grab his facemask?

Facemask in a UR foul: prior to yards gained, POAs are PBD or PLS. 15y + AFD.

It is smart because in NFHS rules, a fumble behind the LOS is a loose ball play. The face mask would be enforced from the previous spot instead the end of the run.

A REALLY smart one would wait to fumble until after he sees a flag...

And hopefully recover it. What's worse is that I had a facemask on the QB who straight-armed a rusher and grasped the facemask (this is before the 5 yd variety came into the rules). This occurred at least 10 yds behind the LOS. Add 15 to that. Ouch! |

forgive me, but isnt the penalty enforced from the end of the run? Which would be where the fumble took place?

The basic spot in FED for a loose ball foul is the previous spot, subject to all-but-one.

And by definition a fumble behind the LOS is a loose ball play so that's why you are correct. If this fumble had occurred beyond the LOS, it would be enforced from the end of the run as a running play.

Where can I find this in the rules book? I am under the impression that defensive penelties are administered from the "basic spot" which would be the end of the run (fumble)
