Football Question # 8.

[Lighthouse]

Team A's ball, 2nd and goal at team B's 4 yardline. A32 takes a handoff from A12 and runs to the goal line for a TD. The HL rules TD. The team A mascot runs into the endzone to "high 5" A32 as he gets off the pile. The game is stopped for a replay review and there is video evidence that A32 was down at the 1 yardline. Your Ruling? With down, yardline and when clock starts. How many seconds on play clock?

I would think 3rd and goal at the one from what I'm reading. Clock starts on the snap.

I really have no idea. But probably the mascot running onto the field is a 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty. So I will say ball at the 16 and the clock starts at the ready signal. I'll say 2nd down and play clock starts at 25 seconds.

Team A's ball at the 16 yard line. 3rd and goal. Play clock at 25 and starts on the snap. We weren't given the original down so I can't guess at that.

I'm sorry, I left it out of the original question. I amended it in Bold.
