Question on NCAA Enforcement
 

Watching an NCAA game and I have a question on enforcement that if done correctly was different then I would have thought.

2nd and 10 for Team A on the B 20 yard line. A12 drops back to pass and throws a completed pass to A88 at the B15 yard line. A88 is hit by B22 and fumbles the ball at the B15 yard line. The ball lies motionless for a second and B28 comes in and clearly bats the ball backwards to the B25 yard line where A77 recovers. There is a flag thrown at the 15 yard line for an illegal bat by B28. In the game (2009 game I think) the penalty was enforced half the distance to the goal from the previous spot making it 1st and 10 at the 10.

From my thoughts I couldn't understand how previous spot would come into play, but I deal more with NHFS then NCAA. I would have thought this would be enforced from the 15 yard line as the end of the related run (I am sure I would enforce from there in NFHS).

Thoughts? Rule references?

Thanks.

No takers?

Sorry just saw this. You are correct, that this should have been enforced from the end of the related run.
