2. RULING: B 1/10 A34. A live ball becomes dead when any part of the runner's body, except his hand or foot, touches the ground or when the runner is tackled or otherwise falls and loses possession of the ball as he contacts the ground with any part of his body, except his hand or foot. A18 did not touch the ground with any body part other than his hand or foot. Touching the ball to the ground does not result in a dead ball. A18's fumble is recovered by B78.
3. RULING: B 1/10 B36. No foul. According to Rule 6-4-1, only Team B players who are inbounds are afforded an unimpeded opportunity to catch a kick. With his foot out of bounds, B22 cannot be offended by this foul. However, the ball becomes dead when B22 touches the ball while his foot is on the sideline.
4. RULING: Extra period. The score remains A27-B27. The score by B96 is canceled and there is no replay of the down. The 15-yard penalty is enforced from the 25 to start the first extra period. This ruling applies after a change of possession on any play during an extra period and after a change of possessions only during Trys in regulation. If there was no change of team possession and A33 high stepped into B's end zone, the score would count.
5. RULING: A f/k A30. Extend period. Team A and Team B commit live ball fouls during the free kick down. Team B's foul occurs after a change of team possession and Team B is in possession when the down ends. There are three possibilities to consider with two of the three requiring that the period be extended with an untimed down. (1) Team B could decline offsetting fouls. Team A could then accept (they will not) the penalty for Team B's foul and the period would be extended with an untimed down by Team B. (2) Team B could decline offsetting fouls. Team A could (and would) decline the penalty for Team B's foul and the game would go into an extra period. (3) Team B could accept offsetting fouls. The down would then be replayed. The period would be extended. Assuming that Team B accepts offsetting fouls, Team A would only have to kick (tap) the ball off the tee and recover immediately to send the game into an extra period. [NOTE: Any penalty may be declined. Some penalties are declined by rule].
6. RULING: A 4/6 A44. Incomplete legal forward pass. There is no foul for an ineligible receiver being downfield because the pass crossed the sideline behind the neutral zone. A legal forward pass has crossed the neutral zone when it first strikes the ground, a player, an official or anything beyond the neutral zone inbounds (crosses neutral zone extended). It is not intentional grounding because the passer was outside the tackle and the ball landed beyond the neutral zone.
7. RULING: A 3/12 B26. The clock starts on the snap. A6's holding foul occurred behind the neutral zone. The 10-yard penalty is enforced from the previous spot. It would be a first down for Team A if the penalty was declined. The clock starts on the snap because a backward pass, not a fumble, went forward and out of bounds between the goal lines.
