MB: The title of this thread is "Overtime Carry Over". This is an instance where a team would start with 1st and more than 10. It's always 1st and goal in overtime.

5-1-1: To start the overtime, the offensive team shall put the ball in play, first and goal, on the defensive team’s 10-yard line or succeeding spot if carry-over penalty has been administered (15-yard line for six-player football) anywhere between the hash marks. The first offensive team shall have a series of four downs. That series shall be terminated by any score by the offensive team or if the defensive team has possession of the ball.
