Second and 3 on A's 17. A-1 receives the snap and begins to scramble. B-12 is defending receiver A-6. B-12 sees A-1 pump fake and turns to look at A-6. A-1 then throws the ball in the direction of A-6. Before A-6 touches the ball, B-12 deflags A-6 at A's 35. B-12 stops running, and A-6 completes the pass at A's 40 who scores a touchdown. What is the result?
The touchdown is scored, and the penalty for defensive pass interference at A's 35 will be enforced from the succeeding spot which will be the Try or after the Try at the 14-yard line. In both cases, the penalty will be enforced half the distance.
The official should call out "one-hand touch" while the play continues. Deflagging an eligible receiver beyond A's scrimmage line prior to touching a forward pass is defensive pass interference (Rule 7-10-1).
