Ask the official: Extra-point ruling and untimed downs

October 10, 2017 by OK3Sports

By Adam Wire | Posted 10/9/2017

Welcome to Ask the Official, a blog series from USA Football. We’ve teamed up with Bill LeMonnier, USA Football rules editor, who’s served as a college football referee and also works with ESPN as a rules analyst. Look for LeMonnier’s blog every week during football season as we take reader-submitted questions or revisit a controversial play that took place the previous weekend. See below for information on how to submit your questions. Today, we have a couple of short topics.

Q: A team has an untimed down at the 1-yard line at end of the first half. That team is called for an offside penalty on that down. Is the half over? Or do they march off the five-yard penalty and play another untimed down because it’s a dead ball foul?

A: According to NCAA and National Federation of State High School Association rules, you would have an untimed down.

RELATED CONTENT: Repeated offside penalties on an onside kick

Q: In college football, is the team that just scored a touchdown allowed to refuse the extra-point try?

A: No, you have to try, unless it’s the last play of the game and the touchdown gives the scoring team a lead of 3 points or more. That’s because, in the NCAA, the defense could score two points on a blocked extra-point try or an interception runback.

Any District 28-6A Zone B victory is crucial, but No. 2 O’Connor struggled with a Warren team who fell to 2-4 on the season with Saturday night’s 27-23 loss to one of the best teams in the Alamo city.

Perhaps you can forgive O’Connor for what appears to be a night off on paper, but full credit must go to Warren for giving the Panthers all they could handle. The leader of the pesky Warren team is QB BJ Greene, who continues to put up solid numbers this season. Greene’s 51 yards run with 6:58 left in the first quarter answered an early Roel Sanchez TD run to tie the game at seven. Kyle Elderbooted a 34-yard field goal to give Warren a 10-7 lead after the first quarter.

It appeared O’Connor took control of the game in the third quarter. A 37-yard touchdown run by Sanchez broke the deadlock, and Millard Bradford’s 35-yard pick six with 1:34 left in the third quarter gave O’Connor a 14-0 lead.In the second quarter, O’Connor could only muster a game-tying field goal by Michael Lyssy. At halftime, the 10-10 tie raised some eyebrows around the city.

Warren would cut the lead to 24-17 with 10:41 remaining in the game before Lyssy would add another field goal, this time from 34 yards to give O’Connor a 27-17 lead with 3:46 remaining.

Greene and the Warriors offense would not go away. Greene would hit Quinton Starks on a 40-yard touchdown pass with 1:28 remaining, but the ensuing onside kick attempt failed to give O’Connor a closer than expected victory.

O’Connor will take an off week in Week 7 and will face Stevens (2-4) coming out of the bye week. Warren will face Stevens this Friday at Farris Stadium.

Marshall sophomore QB Dylan Poore rushed for two first-quarter TDs to get a sputtering offense rolling early en route to a 36-0 victory over Holmes. Marshall moves to 3-3 on the season and opens District 28-6A Zone A with an important victory.

Poore would reach the end zone from 1-yard to open the scoring and then from 19 yards with seven seconds remaining in the opening quarter to give the Rams a 14-0 advantage after a period of play. Freshman RB Kvontavious Rockett broke free on a 25-yard TD run with 8:27 remaining in the second quarter to boost the lead to 21-0 before halftime. Rockett led the Rams offense with 100 yards rushing, while Poore chipped in with 84 yards and accounted for three TDs on the night, two of them on the ground.

Arizona State commit Stanley Lambert got on the scoreboard, taking a Poore pass 29 yards for a TD. Lambert only has four catches on the season, three of them have gone for TDs.

Holmes struggled to move the football and were minus-4 in turnover differential in the loss. The Huskies could only muster 151 total yards against what was the top-ranked defense in the division heading into Week 6.

Sophomore Malcolm Wisher led the team in rushing with 83 yards, while the passing game struggled on the night finishing 3 of 15 through the air.

Marshall will take its .500 mark at Farris Stadium on Thursday to face No. 8 Brandeis, who defeated Taft 52-3 on Friday night to move to 5-1 on the season. Holmes will search for its first district victory against No. 10 Brennan at Gustafson Stadium, which also will take place Thursday.

On paper heading into Thursday night’s OK3Sports Feature Game, it appeared Burbank may be able to move its winning streak to four games with a victory over Sam Houston at Alamo Stadium. However, it was Sam Houston who did enough to earn its 11th straight victory over the Bulldogs, 20-13.

Within only: 21 seconds ticking off the first quarter clock, Brandon Adams scored on a 1-yard run to give Sam Houston an early lead. Lowe Scott tacked on the two-point conversion, and the Hurricanes were up 8-0 early.

The Hurricanes expanded their lead with 1:50 remaining in the first half as QB Austen Ashworth hooked up with Jonathan Franklin-Ross on a 29-yard touchdown pass. Sam Houston missed the point after, making the score 14-7 at halftime in favor of the HurricanesWith 7:36 remaining in the opening stanza, Burbank QB Julian Basaldua scored on a 2-yard touchdown plunge to bring Burbank to within one at 8-7 following a successful point after attempt.

It was a deadlock for pretty much entire second half. With 1:50 remaining in the game, Ashworth would fire a 20-yard touchdown pass to Scott. A two-point conversion attempt on the ground failed, giving Sam Houston a 20-7 lead.

Basaldua drove the Bulldogs down the field and answered rather quickly, hitting Zackary Gonzalez on a 40-yard touchdown pass with 46 remaining. An onside kick attempt was recovered by Sam Houston, giving the Hurricanes its 11th consecutive victory over Burbank while moving its record to 2-4 on the season and 2-2 in District 28-5A.

Both teams will return to action Friday, October 13 as Sam Houston will take on Lanier at Alamo Stadium, while Burbank will take on Edison at the SAISD Sports Complex. Both kickoffs are scheduled for 7::30 PM.

No. 5 Steele did all it could to keep its reign over northeast suburban neighbors of Judson in the OK3Sports/SA Preps Game of the Week, but the No. 1 Rockets defended its own field to claim its first-ever victory over Steele in eight tries, 35-28. Judson remains unbeaten at 5-0, while the Knights fell to 1-4.

Judson quarterback Julon Williams willed his Rocket offense to a 21-7 halftime lead. As expected, it was a little more difficult to move the football against the talented Steele defense than it had been as Judson rolled to a 4-0 start.

Williams totaled 284 yards and four TDs to lead the way for the Rockets, who led 35-7 after the third quarter. Williams capped off a 10-play drive with a 9-yard TD run with 1:24 remaining. Fans started to head for the exits.

Steele eventually made it interesting. Tylee Tyson’s 6-yard TD run with 8:14 remaining would kickstart the Knights. From that point, Steele QB Onyx Smith would engineer a near comeback by showing his ability to play quarterback and displaying his athleticism. Smith would finish with 190 yards passing and two TDs.

Smith hit Kenney Broadnax on a 20-yard TD strike with 3:20 remaining in the game before Texas commit Caden Sterns recovered an onside kick to give Steele hope. Smith would later find Sterns, who usually lines up on defense, for a 16-yard TD with 1:46 remaining. Judson would recover a second onside kick attempt and would convert a fourth down in the waning seconds to seal the victory.

District 27-6A will be Idle in Week 6. When Steele returns to action it will be looking for its second win of the campaign by hosting New Braunfels (4-1) at Lehnhoff Stadium in Schertz. Judson will go on the road to face winless East Central (0-5).
