77. RULING: B26 commits defensive pass interference in B's end zone during the try. If the play was not a try, the ball would be placed on B's 2. On a try, the penalty is half the distance from the previous spot since the try was from on or inside B's 3. A's ball, try, on B's 1 1/2.
78. RULING: B43 commits defensive pass interference more than 15 yards downfield. There is no half the distance provision for defensive pass interference. The 15-yard penalty is enforced from the previous spot and carries a first down. A's ball, 1st and goal, from B's 4.
79. RULING: Team B could accept the 5-yard penalty from the previous spot and have Team A rekick. Team B could take the ball on B's 33 at the inbounds spot which is really not an option. Team B will usually elect to take the ball 30 yards beyond Team A's restraining line at the inbounds spot. B's ball, 1st and 10, on the 50.
80. RULING: It is legal for the holder to pass the ball with his knee still on the ground. A holder remains the holder until no player is in position to make the kick or, if the ball is kicked, until the kicker has a reasonable time to regain his balance. The catch and advance is legal. A's ball, 1st and 10, on B's 12.
81. RULING: A42 commits a violation, not a foul, when he bats the scrimmage kick in B's end zone. It would be a foul if a Team B player had touched the ball beyond the neutral zone. B33's illegal block below the waist foul on B's 28 carries postscrimmage kick enforcement. The basic enforcement spot is B's 20 since the end of the kick is in B's end zone by rule, not B's 6. B's ball, 1st and 10, on B's 10.
82. RULING: B33 may block A82 below the waist since A82 is no longer an eligible receiver since voluntarily stepping out of bounds. There is no foul. A's ball, 4th and 13, on B's 46.
83. RULING: B44's foul normally carries postscrimmage kick enforcement since it occurred three or more yards beyond the neutral zone. Team A must accept the three points. There is no other option. Team A will decline the penalty for B44's foul. The penalty is not enforced on the free kick. Team A scores three points. A's ball, free kick, on A's 35.
84. RULING: There is no change of team possession during the down. The series would end for Team A if B91 recovered and then fumbled the ball with A77 falling on the ball on B's 20. A's ball, 4th and 5, on B's 20.
85. RULING: B91 is offside at the snap. Team A fouls after a change of team possession during the try down. If there are offsetting fouls, whether one or both occur after Team B possession, the down is not replayed. A's ball, free kick, on A's 35.
86. RULING: The block by A32 beyond the neutral zone is offensive pass interference since the legal forward pass crossed the neutral zone. Offensive pass interference does not carry a loss of down. A's ball, 3rd and 25, on B's 45. The clock starts on the snap.
87. RULING: The 15-yard face mask foul by B33 occurs before the pass is thrown which means that the foul cannot be roughing the passer. The 15-yard penalty would be enforced from the previous spot since the play is a legal forward pass play. There is no such thing as a loose ball play for penalty enforcement purposes. The pass play gained more than 15 yards so Team A will take the result of the play. A's ball, 1st and 10, on A's 49.
88. RULING: The illegal motion foul occurs at the snap. The five-yard penalty is enforced from the previous spot, A's 33. The 15-yard penalty for A73's dead ball foul is enforced from the succeeding spot, A's 28. A's ball, 2nd and 29, on A's 14.
89. RULING: Team commits a free kick out of bounds foul. During the free kick, B92 commits an illegal block below the waist foul. There is no such thing as postscrimmage kick enforcement during a free kick. Offsetting fouls. A's ball, free kick, on A's 35.
90. RULING: B92's block in the back foul carries postscrimmage kick enforcement. The ball is returned to the previous spot which is the postscrimmage kick spot. The 10-yard penalty is enforced from the spot of the foul. B's ball, 1st and 10, on B's 12. [KEY]
91. RULING: The penalty for the holding foul by A77 in A's end zone during a legal forward pass play results in a safety. Team B scores two points. The 15-yard penalty for A80's unsportsmanlike foul is enforced from the succeeding spot. A's ball, free kick, on A's 10.
92. RULING: End A2 first contacted the ground inbounds while in control of the legal forward pass. Touchdown for Team A. A's ball, try, on B's 3.
93. RULING: The ball not in player possession is dead when it hits anything, including a player or game official, who is out of bounds. It is really A's ball at the yardline where the ball crossed the sideline and not where the ball hit the official. A's ball, 4th and 7, on A's 33.
94. RULING: The ball becomes dead when A82's right toe touches the sideline. The dead ball spot is the foremost point of the ball over the field of play when the ball became dead since the ball did not cross a boundary line. A's ball, 1st and 10, on A's 43.
95. RULING: B27 landed first so B27 is ruled to have caught the pass in B's end zone. This is not a simultaneous catch or recovery. The ball remains a live ball even though opponents have control of the ball. A88 recovered a live ball in B's end zone. Touchdown for Team A. A's ball, try, on B's 3.
96. RULING: A88 did not contact the ground before the ball contacted the ground. Incomplete forward pass. A's ball, 3rd and 8, on B's 12.
97. RULING: There is a scrimmage kick from a scrimmage kick formation during the down. Therefore, the below the waist block by B42 is illegal. B42's foul occurred less than three yards beyond the neutral zone. The basic enforcement spot during a scrimmage kick play is the previous spot. Team A will accept the penalty. A's ball, 1st and 10, on B's 40.
98. RULING: Team A's foul occurred before a change of team possession. Team B's foul occurred after a change of team possession. The down is not replayed when there are offsetting fouls and one or both fouls occurred after a change of team possession. The try is over. There is no score. A's ball, free kick, on A's 35.
99. RULING: It is reasonable to assume that B33 is also attempting to recover the loose ball since he is also close to the loose ball. Then, the push in the back would not be a foul. It would be B's ball, 1st and 10, on B's 46. However, the wording on the exam appears to indicate that B33 was not attempting to get to the ball. The 10-yard penalty would be enforced from the end of A22's run. A's ball, 1st and 10, on B's 39. The clock starts on the snap.
100. RULING: The block by B54 below the waist is legal since the pass is forward and the block is behind the neutral zone. The interception and advance is legal. B's ball, 1st and 10, on A's 40.
