Fourth and four from team A's seven yardline. A1 drops straight back into his end zone under a heavy rush. To avoid being sacked in the end zone, A1 intentionally throws a forward pass to the ground.

A. It's a safety whether or not team B accepts the penalty.
B. Team B can decline the penalty and take the ball at the previous spot.

The correct answer to question # 20,

is B for NCAA, and A for HS.

RULE 7; Snapping and Passing the Ball.

SECTION 3. Forward Pass.
Incomplete Pass.
ARTICLE 7.
Approved Ruling 7-3-7.
II. Fourth and nine on Team A’s seven-yard line. A1 intentionally grounds a forward pass in his end zone to save loss of yardage. RULING: Team B may accept the penalty for a safety. If they decline the penalty, it is Team B’s ball, first and goal on the seven-yard line.

This was a successful football season, and I hope each of you had fun and learned a lot about the rules of football. Please continue to participate in the basketball rules Q&A. God Bless!
