0 Bobref Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 If the foul occurs prior to the ball being ready for play on 1st down for the new series, it’s going to be 1st and 10 after enforcement. If after the ready, it’s 1st & 25. “When a new series of downs is awarded, the penalties for all fouls (including nonplayer and unsportsmanlike) committed prior to the ready-for-play shall be administered before the line to gain is established.” 5-3-1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C’mon man! We had this happen Friday night, unusual scenario, I thought I’d throw it out for all the aspiring officials here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a warning from one of our fans, I think he thought a football game was the library.

0 Yuccaguy Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Only had this scenario happen once in my career. And the offending team knew EXACTLY why it was 1st and 25. It got quiet as HE double hockey sticks from then on! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a similar situation Friday night. Team A gains a first down, after the play, taunting on A. Team B's coach wanted to know why it wasn't 1st and 25.
