Casebook help

I agree with everyone ---and only add a couple of small things.

#1-- The option rule applies to TDs scored by the offense...when the foul is committed by the defense. An interception for a TD and a facemask penalty for example would not qualify under the rule.

#2-- You will never have a situation where you will be first and 25 unless you have already set the chains.

#3-- As for the word "freaking" as in a two word variation of this...we had a situation a couple of weeks ago where we had hold by the offense...the guy who committed the hold telling the official what he could do, as the player was running 50 yards for a touch down. That was a particularly entertaining sequence. Penalize the hold....then go back half the distance to the goal for the USC and have to explain to the coach that all misconduct fouls are administered and thats why both "live ball" fouls were being walked off.
