What is the spot from which the ball is hiked in football?

Answer 1

The spot is determined by which team the referee is pulling for to win the game. As we have seen several times in College Football this year, spots that appeared to be obvious (where the ball was located at the time the player was down, with his elbow, knee, etc) were changed to provide or take away a first down or, in some cases, a touchdown.

Answer 2

where the ball is when the player's knee/shin is on the ground

Answer 3

7 Yards behind the line of scrimmage directly behind the spot where the previous play ended (middle of field or on left/right hash mark)

Answer 4

The line of scrimmage.

Answer 5

you check to see if anybody else has it
