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!

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.

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.

exactly.

Yeah, because a team would rather give the other guys 2 pts and the ball rather than replaying the down from the 15 (a 13yd gain with no down counted). Do you even think before you answer? Come up with some reasonable situation where any team would not take the penalty.

Yes, game situation they might want to take the field position with the two points instead of taking the ball at the 15. Not likely, but very possible which is why you give them the option. I do recall a pro coach took the wind in OT instead of getting the ball. And they lost but the coach wanted the wind so bad and ended up losing. Not our job to think for coaches. I think officials often assume teams want something only to find out the team wanted the not so obvious option. But hey, forgive me for having dealt with that personally as an official then talking about it only on a forum like some will do. ![]() Peace

Take the safety and punt from the 20 instead of trying again to punt from the 15, with a rush (and actually punting from about the 3-4 yard line.

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. ![]()
