When the defensive player moves over the line of scrimage and touches an offensive player before the ball is hiked.
It's when a defensive player moves over the line of scrimage before the ball is snapped. If he touches an offensive player it's known as encroachment.
No, not automatically. It is a 5-yard penalty. If the penalty moves the ball past the line to gain, then it is a first down.
Well for the first offense there is no penalty. It is just a warning. If their is a second infraction after the warning, that is when the team gets penalized....
Yes. Regardless of whether the penalty yards would be enough for a first down, any personal foul penalty on the defense results in an automatic first down for the offense.
You can score a goal directly from a goal kick but only against the opponents. If you kick it into your own goal... ...and it did not leave the penalty area first, then the goal kick is rekicked. ...and it did leave the penalty area first, then play is restarted with a corner kick for the opponents. There can be no offside offense directly from a goal kick.
FELONY offense.
Yes. If you remove a players helmet it is a 15 yard penalty. If you are defense and he is offense, it is an automatic first down.
A sentence of probation is a good possibility.
Penalties from state to state differ greatly. For a first offense DWI, chances are the sentence will be reduced to probation, a revoked license, and a fine.
it means that the penalty the other team had, you don't want the yardage to be added on. Say if it were third down and ten, and the offense didn't get the first down. I would decline the penalty so it would be fourth down. the team would most likely punt the ball to you
