HI,
Suppose a punt goes out of bounds on the 18-inch line. The receiving team starts on offense with the NOSE of the football on the 18-inch line. Then suppose they get a penalty for anything (5, 10, 15 yards -- it doesn't matter). The ball is moved "half the distance to the goal line". That means the nose of the ball is now on the 9-inch line. Assuming the ball is 12 inches long, then aren't 3 inches of the tail of the ball in the end zone? Is this possible? Do you see what I am driving at here? What happens?
Or what if a QB is scrambling in his own end zone and manages to dive forward and reach the ball so that the nose of the ball lands on the 9 inch line. Since the tail of the ball would be spotted in the end zone is that a safety?
Any help will be apprecited.
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
