PI question
In a CA high school football game, there was a defensive pass interference call on a TD pass. The TD was good and they marked 15 yards off on the ensuing kickoff. Was that the correct enforcement?

Yup, new rule from 2-3 years back. Gets rid of the "free shot" on a scoring play.

Thanks....never saw it before

Rule 8.2.2 if you want to look it up.

"If an opponent of the scoring team commits a foul (other than unsportsmanlike conduct on a nonplayer foul) during a down in which a touchdown is scored and there was not a change in possession during the down, A may accept the results of the play and choose enforcement of the penalty: a. On the try, or b. On the subsequent kickoff." |
I predict that within a season or 2, Fed changes this to apply only to fouls that would otherwise have been penalized from the end of the run that resulted in the TD.
|
And I predict that in a season or two, you'll be wrong.

The purpose of the rule was to eliminate cheap shot fouls that had to be declined in order to score. Nuff said. |
