You Make the Call

Assume a 4th down field goal attempt in a high school game. Now what?

The play that I always prayed would never happen because I could never remember the signal for an illegal……..

And as luck would have it, it never did…..though I did have it happen on a punt once and my U came in for the save!

Isn't it just the same motion this thing makes?

No … but it should be.

Thanks for sharing. The number of incorrect rulings on that video was crazy but not surprising. Definitions are so critical in understanding rules. Someone was shown the rule which references the player can legally kick the ball again after possessing the first kick. They argued that since the defense never gained possession the kicking team was still in possession. Player possession and team possession are very different things in the rule book and clearly defined.

Here’s one that has been circulating online that could trip up even veteran officials:

1st & 15 for A from their 40 yd. line. QB A1 runs the option to the right. At the A 38 he pitches back to A4, who catches the backward pass at the A35 and ends up running to the A 46. Immediately after the QB pitches the ball, while the backward pass is still in the air, defensive end B6 takes 2 steps and drives his shoulder into A1’s head. Is this a foul and, if so, how is it enforced? Down & distance for the next play?

Too easy.

Take a look at this play. Under NF rules, is there a foul here?

I don't know for sure, but I do see some old coach giving a long tenured ref a lot of 💩 over calling it a blindside block....which I agree it was; could even call helmet to helmet. But no chance that kid on R saw that guy coming.
