horse collar in EZ

NFHS

Team A is on their own 2 yard line. QB A1 scrambles in the end zone and is tackled by horse collar in the end zone by B1. How is the penalty enforced?

My first thought is the run ended in the end zone. The Penalty Enforcement Spot should be the end of the run. In this scenario the I am enforcing the penalty from the goal line with the ball ending up on A's 15 yardline

NF: 10-5-2, "The enforcement spot for any foul by the defense is the goal line when the run ends in the end zone and would result in a safety."

This can't be a safety!

It would have been if B had not fouled.

Of course not... another example of the classic FED and NCAA run-on sentence. Throw in a comma - they really mean that if the play WOULD HAVE resulted in a safety (sans the penalty), the enforcement spot is the goal line.

Thank you...it is early but no that early.

The result of the play is a safety without a penalty. So you tell the team if they do not want a safety then accept the penalty. And based on the overall situation in the game that might not be something we should automatically assume.

Actually, the grammar is correct here, though elliptical. Let me fill it in:

The enforcement spot is the goal line when (two conditions are both met, namely: )
(a) the run ends in the end zone, and
(b) (the play) would result in a safety (if A declines the penalty).

Yeah, that's better.

CANADIAN RULING:

UR before YG is PLS or PBD. The bullets are A's choice first.

• PLS: Team A 1D/10 @ A-17.
• PBD: Score the Safety Touch, then Team B's option:
  1. Team B 1D/10 @ B-20.
  2. Team A KO @ A-50.
  3. Team B KO @ B-20.
