QUIZ: WEEK #10


RULING FORMAT: Team (A or B) in possession, down, distance and succeeding spot (example: A 1/10 A40). If relevant, also include other information such as whether the 25 or 40-second play clock will be used, whether the game clock starts on the ready or snap, if ZAP 10 is a factor or if there will be an extension of the period.

1. PLAY: 3rd/10 A30. The score is A21-B28. A33 runs a sweep and advances across B's goal line. While following the play, the HL runs into the Team A coach who is straddling the sideline watching the action. Time expires in the fourth quarter during the down.


2. PLAY: F/K A35. While A6's free kick is airborne, B58 blocks A49 below the waist at A's 49. B44 catches the ball on B's 20 and advances to A's 40 where he is downed.


3. PLAY: 4th/11 B26. Extra period. Second series. Score: A28-B28. A6's field goal attempt is blocked but continues downfield. B44 picks up the ball on B's 10 and is downed on B's 15. During the kick, B45 blocked A80 below the waist on B's 18.


4. PLAY: 4th/6 B46. A6 punts. B44 gives an invalid fair catch signal on B's 8. B44 muffs the airborne ball on B's 8, catches the ball on B's 6 and is tackled immediately by A84. During the down, B66 blocked A74 low on B's 12. A84 does not commit an interference with opportunity foul.


5. PLAY: 3rd/4 B24. The score is A21-B21 with 0:14 remaining in the fourth quarter. Neither team has timeouts remaining. A32 is downed inbounds on B's 19. In a hurry-up offense and after the ready, all offensive players get set except A78 who is moving from a two-point stance to a three-point stance when the ball is snapped with 0:07 on the game clock. B66 intercepts A16's legal forward pass and advances across Team A's goal line as time expires in the fourth quarter.


6. PLAY: 4th/16 A4. A5's punt is blocked, lands on A's 6 and takes a reverse bounce into Team A's end zone where A77 accidentally kicks the ball into the field of play. B96 muffs the ball on A's 3. A66 recovers on A's 2 and advances to A's 22 where he is downed. A77 was the first player to touch the kick after the kick crossed the neutral zone.


7. PLAY: 4th/2 B5. The score is A24-B24. A33 fumbles on B's 2 and the ball rolls into B's end zone where A85 recovers the ball. B96 was offside at the snap. A85 isolates himself from his teammates, goes to one knee and gives the ball a spin. Twenty seconds remain in the second half. Game clock?
