PLAY OF THE WEEK: | |
New this week | Play: Team A’s ball, 3rd and goal from Team B’s 12-yard line. Team A attempt a field goal with a holder and kicker in position to kick the ball. The ball is partially blocked by B74 behind the neutral zone and loops high into the air. It is then caught by A25 in the end zone.
|
Last week | Play: 2nd & 8 at the B-15 yard line. With under a minute remaining in the 2nd quarter the clock is running. A77 commits a False Start, charging into B61. B61 slugs A77 in response. The clock is stopped with 7 seconds left in the period and neither team has any timeouts remaining.
|
MECHANICS: | |
New this week | Game Situation: How many times should the umpire allow the ball to fall off the tee at a kick off before insisting that the kicking team get a player to hold the ball in place?
|
Last week | Game Situation: Ball relay. On a 4 man crew the wing official will almost always be covering a dead ball spot near the sidelines. How should the Referee and Umpire work together to ensure that a ball is brought quickly into the new inbounds spot. Answer: M5.8.7.a The Referee and Umpire share the roles of retriever and spotter, with whomever is nearer the ball being the retriever (obtaining a ball from a ball boy or player) and the other being the spotter (placing the ball at the inbounds spot). |
