I had an instance in an 8th grade game where I disagreed with the Referee, and the Umpire.
Situation: Ball spotted on the 50 yard line, Team A (offense) runs the ball to about the 15 yard line, on the way down the field a block in the back was called by the umpire the covering official at the 20. I assumed the block in the back would be penalized from the 20 back 10 yars, and then the result would still be a first down? Am I incorrect, as the penalty was administered from the 50 and took the team back to their 40 yard line. I read my books, and feel that I was correct, should penalize from the spot of the foul. |

whoops. They messed up. After you had the enforcement did you have an USC penalty for the coach and staff going nuts over the bad enforcement spot?
Why would a run go back to the previous spot and enforce? Think they need a refresher in all but one! |

Assuming NF rules, you are correct!
Under National Federation rules, this was a foul by A behind the basic spot. You had a running play that ended at B's 15 yard line. The foul by A occurred at B's 20 yard line. Should have been enforced from there, 10 yards, to B's 30 yard line. If A then was beyond the line to gain they should have been awarded a first down. If not beyond the line to gain repeat the down after enforcement (from B's 20) of A's penalty.

...and this is why I subscribe to this board. I learn something useful every day!!!!
Thanks dude. I hastily assumed that in every situation, the foul would have occurred behind the end of the run.
