Week 5 Rules Questions

Week 5 Rules Questions

For all questions, consider team in possession, down, distance, status of the clock, after any penalty enforcements.

EXAMPLE:

A – 1st and 10 at A’s 35. RB A35 runs up the middle to A’s 43 where he is tackled in bounds. During the run, Guard A68 held B56 at A’s 35.
ANSWER: OH by A68. A – 1st and 20 at A’s 25. Clock on RFP.

1. A – 1st and 10 at A’s 40. QB A9 muffs the snap, and the ball rolls back to A’s 30 where QB A9 picks it up and runs to A’s 33 where he is tackled. Before A9 picked up the ball, RG A77 held B24 and took him to the ground at A’s 38 preventing him from getting to the ball.

2. A – 2nd and 7 at B’s 20. QB A9 takes the snap, drops back in the pocket, and begins looking to pass. He looks right where WR A88 is running down the sideline, but B56 holds A88 causing him to lose his balance. QB A9 then looks left, and throws a forward pass to WR A12 who catches the pass in B’s end zone for a touchdown. The Field Judge flags B56 for defensive holding.

3. K – Free Kick at K’s 40. Kicker K7 kicks the ball such that it strikes the ground immediately off the tee and bounces in the air high and short toward the right side of the field. Receiver R60, believing the ball was kicked in the air, signals for a fair catch and recovers the kick at R’s 48 yard line.

4. A – 3rd and 5 at B’s 40 yard line. QB A9 is under center, receives a hand-to-hand snap, and hands off to RB A36 who rushes to B’s 30 where he is tackled. Immediately after the snap, LG A56 moved forward. Defensive lineman B24 moves forward and contacts A56 on the side as A56 is moving by. While A56 is contacting B24, LT A77 blocks B24 at the knees. The ball was in the free-blocking zone at the time of the block.
