QUIZ: WEEK #8


RULING FORMAT: Team (A or B) in possession, down and distance, yardline and status of clock if relevant (example: A 1/10 A40, clock on snap). Include other relevant information such as extension of period and whether a 40 or 25 second play clock will be employed.

1. PLAY: Fourth and 8 on B's 28. A4's unsuccessful field goal attempt goes out of bounds on B's 3 after A88 muffed the ball on B's 5. During the down, B56 clips on B's 22.


2. PLAY: Fourth and 4 on B's 44. A5 punts. A82 leaps and, while still airborne, reaches into B's end zone and bats the ball back to B's 4. B43 picks up the ball on B's 4 and advances to B's 16 where he is downed. During the punt, B56 holds A84 on B's 35.


3. PLAY: First and 10 on A's 6. QB A15 takes the snap and pitches the ball backward to A32. While the pass is in flight on A's 3, B66 bats the ball into Team A's end zone. To prevent B88 from catching the ball in Team A's end zone, A32 bats it and the ball goes out of bounds untouched on A's 5.


4. PLAY: Team A scores a touchdown on the last play of the fourth quarter to tie the score, A28-B28. On the try, holder A22 muffs the snap and the ball rolls to B's 11. As kicker A7 reaches for the ball, B94 deliberately kicks the ball over B's end line.


5. PLAY: Third and 7 on B's 27. A32 takes a pitchout from A12 and runs for a touchdown. Slot receiver A83 illegally blocked B98 below the waist on B's 22 during A32's run. A32 and A66 call attention to themselves in B's end zone.


6. PLAY: Fourth and 8 on B's 24. With the score tied and eight seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, A8's field goal attempt is unsuccessful. While the kick was in the air, B46 commits a flagrant personal foul on A82 on B's 18. Four seconds remain on the game clock.


7. PLAY: Try on B's 3. Team A has only six players on the line at the snap. The try is blocked. The ball never crosses the neutral zone. B55 picks up the ball on B's 10 and returns the ball across Team A's goal line. During B55's run, B92 commits a flagrant personal foul on B's 18.
