2017 MINI MISSIVE #8


RUNNING PLAY (2-30-4) [Penalty Enforcement]

The basic spot is the previous spot when the foul occurs in the interval from the start of the snap until a player gains possession. In the case where there are multiple running plays in a down, crew coordination is essential to determine the specific running play, the related run and where the foul occurred.
