128. RULING: Back A42 makes a first down on the 50. The 15-yard penalty for B44's dead ball personal foul is enforced from the succeeding spot. The ball is marked ready for play on B's 35. A78's personal foul occurs after the ready for play. A's ball, 1st and 25, on the 50.

130. RULING: A block below the waist, a block in the back, holding or any personal foul against a player in position to receive a backward pass is a foul (A.R. 9-1-2-XXV). Rule 9-1-2-e-5 does not appear to include holding or a block in the back. Therefore, the foul by B44 is considered a holding foul and does not carry a first down. The basic enforcement spot is the end of A8's run, A's 40. A's ball, 3rd and 8, on the 50.
131. RULING: No defensive player, in an attempt to block, bat or catch a kick place a hand on a teammate to get leverage for additional height. The penalty is 15 yards from the previous spot. Team A will accept the penalty. A's ball, 4th and 2, on B's 10.
132. RULING: Postscrimmage kick enforcement is not applicable because Team A has possession when the down ends. The tripping foul by B44 does not carry postscrimmage kick enforcement. The bat by A21 is legal since the ball is batted backward. A21 commits an illegal touching violation on B's 4. Team A will accept the penalty. A's ball, 1st and 10, on B's 30.
133. RULING: The clipping foul by A74 occurs during a legal forward pass play. The basic enforcement spot is the previous spot. The 15-yard penalty is enforced from the spot of the foul. A's ball, 2nd and 29, on A's 11.
134. RULING: B44 commits a holding foul and not defensive pass interference since A8 had not thrown the pass. The penalty for the holding foul will be declined by rule. Team A scores a touchdown. The 15-yard penalty for the dead ball foul will be enforced on the try. A's ball, try, on B's 18. Disqualify A82.
135. RULING: Any intentional forward movement of the arm starts a forward pass. The pass remains a forward pass even if the pass goes backward after a Team B player contacts the passer. Incomplete legal forward pass. A's ball, 3rd and 8, on B's 46.
136. RULING: The recovery of B92's fumble and advance by B57 is legal. The recovery and advance of a 4th down fumble is only applicable prior to a change of team possession during the down. B's ball, 1st and 10, on B's 24.
137. RULING: The basic enforcement spot for the foul by A63 is the end of A33's run, A's 42. The spot of A63's foul, A's 36, is behind the basic enforcement spot. A's ball, 1st and 14, on A's 26.
138. RULING: The holding by B21 occurs during a running play. The basic enforcement spot is the end of A8's run, B's 1. A's ball, 4th and goal, on B's 1/2. Extend the period.
139. RULING: The holding by B42 requires postscrimmage kick enforcement. A33 illegally touches the kick on B's 18. The kick ends on B's 12. Team A will accept the 10-yard penalty. B's ball, 1st and 10, on B's 6.
140. RULING: Touchdown for Team A. Team A declines the offside penalty by Team B. The dead ball fouls by A8 and B21 cancel each other. The second dead ball foul occurred before the penalty for the first foul was completed. A's ball, try, on B's 3. Disqualify B21 and perhaps A8.
141. RULING: The runner, A8, had advanced beyond the neutral zone and then returned behind the neutral zone. A8 committed an illegal forward pass foul on B's 26. B21 may push an opponent out of the way since this is not a legal forward pass. The interception and advance by B21 is legal. Team B will decline the penalty. B's ball, 1st and 10, on the 50.
142. RULING: Offsetting fouls are committed by B92 (face mask) and A8 (illegal forward pass). A82's fumble went forward and out of bounds and would normally be returned to the spot of the fumble. A's ball, 2nd and 10, on B's 24. The clock will start on the ready for play.
143. RULING: B92 touched the punt beyond the neutral zone. A33 recovered a live ball while grounded on A's 45. The 15-yard penalty for B42's piling on foul is enforced from the succeeding spot. A's ball, 1st and 10, on B's 40.
144. RULING: Guard A64 and A33 both foul during A8's run. Team B will accept the 10-yard penalty for A64's holding foul. The penalty is enforced from the spot of the foul, A's 2, since A8's run ended beyond the neutral zone. A's ball, 2nd and 28, on A's 1.

146. RULING: There are three live ball fouls committed by Team B during the down. The basic enforcement spot is the end of A33's run, B's 10. Team A will accept the penalty for either the holding foul (10 yards) or the incidental face mask foul (5 yards). The 15-yard penalty for A33's dead ball personal foul is enforced from the succeeding spot, B's 5. A's ball, 1st and 10, on B's 20. Disqualify A33.
147. RULING: The face mask foul by B21 occurred during a runnning play. The basic enforcement spot is the end of the run, B's 35. The clock was stopped to award Team B a first down. A's ball, 1st and 10, on B's 20. The clock starts on the snap.
148. RULING: A28 and B30 do not simultaneously recover the ball. The ball becomes dead when touched by B30 with his foot touching the sideline. The ball is out of bounds in B's end zone. The impetus for the ball being in B's end zone was the fumble by A28. The result of the play is a touchback. B's ball, 1st and 10, on B's 20.
149. RULING: Back A28 fumbles behind the neutral zone. The fact that A28's run ended behind the neutral zone affects the spot of enforcement for the holding foul by A64. It will be A's ball, 3rd and 18, on A's 8 if the penalty is accepted. The penalty will be declined. A's ball, 4th and 6, on A's 20. NOTE: Interpretation under review.
150. RULING: An invalid fair catch signal is not a foul. The ball becomes dead when the ball is caught or recovered by any player. A52 does not foul since the punt has been touched by a Team B player beyond the neutral zone. The down ends with A43 in possession on B's 25. A's ball, 1st and 10, on B's 25. The clock starts on the snap.
