2001 CCA PRESEASON EXAM

QUESTIONS 1 to 20


1. Third and 4 on the A-44 yard line. With 0:28 remaining in the first half, QB A8 hands off to Back A33 who runs to the B-49 yard line where he is hit and his helmet comes off. A33 retains possession of the ball and is on his feet at the B- 49 yard line.

2. Second and 8 on the A-32 yard line. The 25-second play clock is winding down when QB A8 turns and requests a time- out from the Referee. Referee grants the time-out and sees the team A coach touching his shoulders with both hands. This indicates:

3. PAT on the B-3 yard line. Team A is attempting a two-point conversion. QB A8 completes a forward pass to A34 in the end zone. After A8 threw the pass, B91 roughed A8.

4. PAT on the B-3 yard line. Team A is attempting a two-point conversion. QB A8 scrambles and throws a forward pass toward A34 in the end zone. The pass is batted away by B21 and the ball falls incomplete. After A8 threw the pass, B91 roughed A8.

5. PAT on the B-3 yard line. Holder A8 muffs the snap. Kicker A7 picks up the ball and throws a forward pass toward A82 in the end zone. A82 catches the pass in the end zone. After A7 released the ball, he was roughed by B91.

6. PAT on the B-3 yard line. Holder A8 muffs the snap. Kicker A7 picks up the ball and throws a forward pass toward A82 in the end zone. A82 is unable to catch the pass and the ball falls incomplete. After A7 released the ball, he was roughed by B91.

7. Second and 6 on the A-36 yard line. QB A8 hands off to Back A20. A20 runs directly toward the right side of the line of scrimmage and jumps, one foot first, over the players on the right side. Some of these players were on their feet (though bent over) at the time. A20 lands on the A-38 yard line and runs to the A-44 yard line, where he is forced out- of-bounds.

8. First and 10 on the A-20 yard line. QB A8 hands off to Back A22. A22 runs to the A-26 yard line, where he is downed. During the run, Tackle A75 held B98 at the A-17 yard line.

9. Third and 15 on the A-16 yard line. QB A8 has to scramble, looking for an open receiver. Unable to find one, A8 runs to the A-20 yard line, where he is tackled. During A8's run, A33 held B54 at the A-14 yard line.

10. Second and 12 on the A-4 yard line. QB A8 hands off to Back A33, who runs to the A-35 yard line where he is pushed out- of-bounds. During A33's run, A74 held B45 in Team A' s end zone.

11. First and 10 on the A-45 yard line. QB A8 drops straight back, looking for an open receiver. Under defensive pressure at the A-38 yard line, A8 throws the ball into the ground, near the line of scrimmage, where there is no eligible Team A receiver.

12. Second and 8 on the B-40 yard line. QB A8 muffs the snap and the ball rolls to the B-44 yard line. B54 is about to pick up the ball at the B-45 yard line where A8 bats the ball forward. The ball rolls out-of-bounds at the B-42 yard line.

13. Fourth and 18 on the B-48 yard line. Team A is in scrimmage kick formation. Punter A7 receives the snap and kicks the ball. The kicked ball goes out the back of Team B's end zone, untouched. As B44 was attempting to block the kick, A74 pushed him in the back at the A-46 yard line.

14. Third and goal on the B-2 yard line. QB A8 hands off to Back A32 who runs toward the line of scrimmage. At the B-3 yard line, A32 jumps and hurdles over defensive linemen at the line of scrimmage, landing first in the end zone. At the snap, B98 was offside.

15. Fourth and 8 on the 50 yard line. The punt is partially blocked by B21 just before he contacts Punter A7. The ball bounces at the A-48 yard line and rolls back to the A-45 yard line where Back A32 picks it up. A32 starts to run, and is about to be tackled at the A-47 yard line when he sees Tackle A78 alone at the B-40 yard line, so he throws a forward pass to him. As A78 reaches for the ball, B44 pushes him in the back and intercepts at the B-39 yard line. B44 runs to the A-5 yard line where he is hit and fumbles and the ball rolls into the end zone and over the end line.

16. Second and 10 on the B-35 yard line. Back A33 goes in motion until he gets behind Tight End A84. A33 stops there and then abruptly moves forward one step and stops again. This movement causes Defensive End B91 to fire across the line of scrimmage and contact A84 before the ball is snapped.

17. First and 10 on the A-32 yard line. Wide-out A88 releases downfield and is legally pushed by B22 at the A-36 yard line, causing A88 to step on the sideline. He returns inbounds immediately and continues running downfield. QB A8 then throws a forward pass to Tight End A84 who jumps high to try to catch the pass at the A-40 yard line. A84 can't get both hands on the ball, so he bats it (while still in the air) to A88, at the A-44 yard line. A88 catches the ball there and runs for a touchdown. Twelve Team B players were participating on the field at the snap.

18. Second and 5 on the B-35 yard line. QB A8 places his hands on the back of Snapper A50's thighs. However, it is a trick play and the snap goes through A8's legs directly to Back A33 at the B-41 yard line. A33 throws a forward pass to Tight End A84 who muffs it at the B-27 yard line and the ball goes directly to Safety B48 who intercepts at the B-22 yard line and runs for a touchdown. During B48's run, A75 incidentally grabbed a Team B player's face mask at the B-40 yard line and B92 blocked A67 below the waist at the 50 yard line.

19. Third and 8 on the A-30 yard line. Back A33 takes a handoff and runs to the B-49 yard line where he is hit and fumbles the ball. The ball is rolling at the B-45 yard line when A80 sees that B24 is in a better position to recover the ball. A80 pushes B24 in the back above the waist, knocking B24 down. This allows A80 to recover the ball at the B-44 yard line and run to the B-10 yard line where he steps on the sideline. Defensive Tackle B75 was lined up offside at the snap.

20. Fourth and 1 on the B-8 yard line. QB A8 misses an attempted handoff at the B-10 yard line and has to scramble. He gets to the B-4 yard line where he sees that he is about to be tackled, so he tries a backward pass to A33 who is behind him. However, A8 is grabbed from behind by B58 before releasing the ball and it goes forward to the B-1 yard line where A78 falls on the ball.
