In both the NFL and NCAA, a football field is 360' long. How wide is it?
In an NCAA game, the ball carrier, after scoring a TD, punts the ball into the stands.
Does the touchdown count? Is there a penalty on the play?
Situation: With the score tied and just a few seconds left in the game, team A snaps the ball on third down at their own 35. The QB drops back to pass and, under a heavy rush, throws an incomplete forward pass into an area where there are no eligible receivers. Time in the fourth quarter expires during the play. Is the period extended for an additional play if team B accepts the intentional grounding penalty?
NCAA Situation: Team A trails 38-34. A back for Team A runs for a TD as the game clock goes to 0:00 in the fourth quarter, making the score 40-38 in favor of Team A. Team A's coach tells the referee that his team will not attempt the try. Is this allowed?
