Third and goal on B's 18. A-1 takes the snap and rolls to his right. A-3 is running a route and cuts off B-9 who is covering A-5 at B's 7. Contact is made. A-1 then completes a pass to A-5 who runs the ball into the end zone. What is the result?
Third and goal from B's 28. Double stakes.
A-3 committed an offensive pass interference (OPI) violation. OPI can occur from the time the ball is snapped until the pass is touched by any player beyond A's scrimmage line (Rule 7-10-2).
The penalty is 10 yards from the basic spot which is the previous spot since this is a loose ball play. The zone line-to-gain remains the goal line since it has already been established as the line-to-gain for this series.
