Your answers are highlighted below.

Question 1

Team A is kicking off. The ball is coming down towards the Team B receiver and three Team B players form an illegal wedge at the B-25. The Team B receiver catches the ball and runs to the B-30 where he is hit and fumbles the ball. The ball is recovered by Team A. The Team A player is running and is hit at the B-5 where he fumbles the ball with the loose ball rolling into the pylon at the intersection of the goal line and sideline.

A	Foul by Team B for formation of an illegal wedge.
B	No foul for formation of an illegal wedge, the play resulted in a Touchback.

Question 1 Explanation:

The rule says there is no foul if the result of the play is a touchback.

Question 2

Team A drops back to pass and the pass is controlled downfield by an airborne Team A receiver. A Team B defender launches and hits the receiver square in the middle of the back. The Team A player falls to the ground and his contact with the ground causes the Team A player’s helmet to come off. The pass falls incomplete. The Team B player was flagged for targeting. Is the Team A player required to sit out for one play?

A	Yes
B	No

Question 2 Explanation:

They don't have to sit out if the helmet comes out as a direct effect of the foul.

Question 3

A 1/10, A-30. After the ball is snapped, a Team A player goes more than a yard beyond the line of scrimmage and then comes back behind the line of scrimmage and blocks below the waist three yards behind the line of scrimmage towards his own goal line.

A	Foul
B	Legal

Question 3 Explanation:

It is where the block occurs that determines whether or not it is a foul, not if the blocker has been beyond the line of scrimmage.

Question 4

Team A is in punt formation, ready to punt. The ball is snapped towards the punter and he demonstrates why he is a punter and not a receiver, and drops the ball. A Team B lineman, not noticing the ball was loose, is coming at a full head of steam and jumps up and leaps directly over one of the shield players while inside the tackle box. The punter took forever to recover the ball, runs a few feet and is then tackled.

A	No foul for leaping
B	Foul for leaping

Question 4 Explanation:

The ball must be kicked for it to be a foul.

Question 5

Team A is kicking off. All of the cover team for Team A is lined up behind the A-30 with their front foot of each player on the A-30. The kicker, A-3 is lined up 8 yards behind the ball. As the kicker approaches the ball and he is between the A-35 and the A-30 he goes to his right and one of the cover players, A-10 crosses in front of him and executes an on-side kick. Team A was offside on the kick. Team A illegally touches the ball at the A-42. Team B recovers the ball at the A-48 and advances to the A-45 where he is downed.

A	B 1/10, A-47
B	B 1/10, A-40
C	B 1/10, A-45
D	B 1/10, A-42
E	A rekick from the A-30

Question 5 Explanation:

The subsequent dead-ball belongs to Team B so they can have Team A's foul for either the formation or offside enforced from the subsequent dead-ball spot.

Question 6

Team A punts the ball and at the B-35 Team A illegally touches the ball. The ball then comes into Team B’s possession at the B-30. The Team B player runs to the 50-yard line where he is hit and he fumbles the ball. The ball is recovered by Team A at the A-45. Team A advances the ball the other direction towards Team B’s goal line. At the B-30, B32 holds a Team A player (not in a manner that is a legal hold, it is an illegal hold). The Team A player is tackled at the B-2.

A	B 1/10, B-30
B	B 1/10, B-20
C	A 1/10, B-20
D	A 1/G, B-1

Question 6 Explanation:

Team A will take the penalty enforced from the B-2 to the B-1; thus canceling the spot of Illegal Touching

Question 7

A	A 1/10, B-20
B	B 1/10, B-20
C	Touchdown for Team A, penalty declined.
D	B 1/10, B-30 Touchdown for Team A, penalty declined.
E	B 1/10, B-35

Question 7 Explanation:

The penalty is declined by rule so the ball goes to Team B at the spot of Illegal Touching.
