Hello all. I have two questions about a game I attended about three weeks ago. 1. The opening kickoff was taken back for a touchdown. The player that was returning the ball, at about the 30yd line held up 1 finger as he was running the ball, a flag was thrown on this play for celebrating. They took the touchdown away and gave them the ball at the other teams 40. Is this the right call? I could see the flag for celebration, but shouldn’t it be tacked on to the extra point being pushed back? A celebration takes away a touchdown?
2. This time its 3rd and 3. the Team, snaps the ball, hands it to the RB, and he goes 60 yards and scores. A Penalty flag is thrown for holding on offense. They bring it back and replay it. Still 3rd and 3. No chains moved. Anything. I know that can be right. Holding is a 15rd penalty I thought? I didn’t know if since a touchdown was scored on the play if its just a replay of down from same yardage or what? Just looking for a few answers. I would greatly appreciate anyones input that know TSSAA rules. Thanks guys amd gals
