If a player intercepts a ball and is tackled as time runs out but there is a defensive penalty on the play what happens?
The penalty is enforced and time is restored to when the penalty took place. Since the game can't end on a defensive penalty, the offense (the intercepting team) would be given one untimed down.
If a football is on the 25 and 2nd down and six teams attempt a field goal wide right who would end up with the ball?
The team that was on defense when the kick was made. Anytime a ball is kicked it causes a change of possesion unless there was a defensive penalty. -----The rules in the NFL state that once the ball crosses the line of scrimmage on a missed field goal attempt there is a change of possession except in the case of a defensive penalty. The kicking team would obviously accept the penalty which would negate the previous play which was the failed kick.
If one pro football team roughs the punter after he kicks does the punter's team get the ball for a 1st and 10?
Yes. There are two penalties that can be called in a situation where a punter gets hit after punting the ball. One is a 'running into the punter' penalty which is five yards and not an automatic first down. The other is 'roughing the punter' which is fifteen yards and an automatic first down. The referee makes the decision whether the penalty is running into or roughing. Generally, roughing the punter is called when the punter's kicking leg is still in the air when heavy contact is made. If both the punter's feet are on the ground when contact is made or the contact is very slight, running into the punter is called. If the defensive player makes contact with the punter because of being blocked by an offensive player, no penalty is called.
Can you take the penalty after the touchdown on the PAT or is it automatically on the kick off?
I'm not totally positive about this but I believe that if the penalty is on the offense, the penalty is enforced on the PAT. But if its a defensive penalty then the penalty is enforced on the kick off. Hopefully that answered your question for you- Mike
Can the defence block the punt in high school football rule?
a punt may be blocked by the kicking team without penalty unless there is some other illegal act involved. As long as the kicked ball is touched prior to the blocker contacting the punter the contact is ignored. For exanmple If the punt blocker were to block the punt and then make helmet to helmet contact with the punter there would be a penalty for the illegal helmet contact but not the blocking of the punt.
