2. RULING: A f/k A30. Touchdown on try canceled. Try ends. The score remains A26-B28. A12 throws a second forward pass which is an illegal forward pass. Because the pass is illegal, there can be no pass interference. Since the contact was not a personal foul or holding, there is no foul. The try is not replayed as the penalty includes loss of down. (jw100610)
3. RULING: A 3/3 A47; Ready. The pass was touched by A82 behind the neutral zone. By rule, the pass did not cross the neutral zone. Thus, the penalty does not carry a first down. The 10-yard penalty is enforced from the previous spot, A's 37. (jw100610)
4. RULING: A 1/10 A40. This is not a roughing the passer foul since A19 was not a passer when the foul occurred. The 15-yard penalty is enforced from the previous spot and carries a first down. Team A will sacrifice the five yards and A 3/5 A45 if they decline the penalty in order to get the first down. (tr100610)
5. RULING: Touchdown. A try B3. A Team B player touched the ball after the ball crossed the neutral zone. Team A legally recovered a scrimmage kick in B's end zone. The ruling would be the same if the batted ball hit the ground in B's end zone before the recovery by A85 in B's end zone.
6. RULING: B 1/10 A22. A88 commits an interference with opportunity foul and also a grasping the face mask personal foul. This is similar to a defensive pass interference foul that involves a personal foul. Since the touching by B84 was the result of the contact by A88, B84 is judged not to have touched the ball. A68 commits an illegal touching violation when he recovers the ball on A's 37. The 15-yard penalty for the personal foul will be enforced from the spot where the subsequent dead ball belongs to Team B, A's 37. If A68 recovered the ball on A's 48, for example, Team B would accept the penalty for the interference with opportunity foul. It would be B 1/10 A30. NOTE: A tack on penalty is enforced from the spot of illegal touching only when the spot of illegal touching is the same as the spot where the subsequent dead ball belongs to Team B.
7. RULING: A 1/G B2. Team A will accept the 10-yard penalty enforced half the distance from the end of A22's run, B's 4. This nullifies the illegal touching violation. If A22 had scored, the penalty would be declined by rule and Team B would put the ball in play at the spot of illegal touching, B's 24 (A.R. 6-3-2-V, FI-33). NOTE: A rule change request in prior years has been unsuccessful. The play has a low probability of occurring.
