Basic Spot Running Play After a Change of Possession Run Ends in End Zone (not on a try) 10-2-2-d-2 Tony Dutton

Enforcement Spots (10-2-1) Two Possibilities The penalty statement specifies an enforcement spot The penalty statement does not specify an enforcement spot

Penalty Statement Specifies a Spot False start – 5 yards from succeeding spot Ineligible receiver downfield: 5 yards – previous spot. Kick catch interference – receiving team’s ball 15 yards from spot of the foul Many others Use the specified spot

Penalty Statement Does Not Specify a Spot Personal foul: 15 yards Illegally batting a loose ball: 10 yards Apply the 3 & 1 Principle (2-33) Use Basic Spot (2-25-10) for appropriate category of play (10-2-2-d)

Four Possibilities (3 & 1) Behind the Basic Spot 1 Team in possession 2 Team not in possession Beyond the Basic Spot 3 Team in possession 4 Team not in possession

Behind the Basic Spot Beyond the Basic Spot Team in Possession X X Spot Foul BASIC SPOT Team not in possession X X

Really Only Two Things to Remember Team in possession fouls behind the basic spot: Spot foul Anything else: Basic spot
