On a try, end A88 is covered by wide reciver A81 essentially making 88 a tackle. At the snap A88 goes into the endzone and catches the pass from his QB.
88 is ruled illegally down field and guilty of OPI. OPI carries a loss of down. Team B wants the OPI enforced. Then A doesn't get to replay the try. QUESTION IS should the 15 yards distance portion of that penalty be measured off from the succeeding spot? I say no! Young rules hotshot says yes. Have researched and have not come accross definitive answer yet. What say ye?
