E. The punch is a dead ball foul after the play. The interference penalty is walked off and first down given. Then the dead ball foul is walked off and the player ejected. While none of the answers above, it has to be 1st and 25 from the 20.

The correct answer to question # 14

is, D & E for NCAA; and B & E for HS.

RULE 7; Snapping and Passing the Ball.

SECTION 3. Forward Pass.
Illegal Contact and Pass Interference
ARTICLE 8.
c. Defensive pass interference is contact beyond the neutral zone by a Team B player whose intent to impede an eligible opponent is obvious and it could prevent the opponent the opportunity of receiving a catchable forward pass. When in question, a legal forward pass is catchable. Defensive pass interference occurs only after a legal forward pass is thrown.

RULE 10;Penalty Enforcement.

SECTION 1. Penalties Completed.
