2008 FOOTBALL RULES & INTERPRETATIONS

QUIZ: WEEK #10

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: Third and 6 on B's 46. Team A has no timeouts remaining. A33 advances to B's 41 making it 4th and 1 on B's 41. With 35 seconds on the play clock, Team A sends in the punting team. With 20 seconds on the play clock, the Team A coach changes his mind and sends back the original offensive players to go for a first down. Team B has time to match up with the Team A substitutions. QB A19 advances to B's 39 where he is downed.


2. PLAY: Try on B's 4 (Team A so elects). The score is A28-B28 with time expired in the fourth quarter. A4's kick is successful. A34 held on B's 7 and B96 committed a personal foul after the try.


3. PLAY: Fourth and goal on B's 9. B47 intercepts A18's legal forward pass one yard deep in B's end zone. B47 is immediately contacted in the back by A83 and driven to B's 3 where he is downed.


4. PLAY: Fourth and 10 on B's 40. A33 is running on B's 36 when B94 pulls A33 to the ground with a horse collar tackle. A33 fumbles before he is declared down. A77 recovers on B's 28 while grounded. Clock?


5. PLAY: Third and 10 on A's 30. A33 catches a screen pass while deep in the backfield and is tackled on A's 18. After the tackle, B98 gets into A33's face and calls him an expletive deleted.


6. PLAY: Fourth and 2 on A's 40. B18 holds his extended arm straight up for a fair catch signal without waving his arm on B's 22. He muffs the ball on B's 20 and B44 recovers on B's 16 and advances to the 50 where he is downed. A84 was in the neutral zone at the snap.


7. PLAY: Second and 10 on B's 40. A80 muffs the legal forward pass on B's 28. B44 intercepts on B's 24 and runs to A's 40 where he fumbles the ball. B56 falls on the ball on A's 38. During B44's run, QB A18 was blocked below the waist on the 50.
