RULING:
The ruling is dependent on a couple of things. First, what exactly is a
"crack back block"? Second, was A82 lined up more than 7 yards outside of
the middle offensive lineman? If by "crack back" it is meant that A82
blocked the B62 in the back, then it is a 10 yard, previous spot penalty,
making it 2nd and 19 on the b49. If "crack back" means that A82 clipped B62,
i.e. hit him in the back below the waist, then it is a 15 yard previous spot
penalty, making it 2nd and 24 on the a46. If "crack back" means that A82 hit
B62 in the side or front below the waist, then it depends on A82 initial
position. If he was within 7 yards of the middle offensive lineman, there is
no foul. If he was more than 7 yards from the middle lineman, then it is an
IBW; penalize 15 yards from the previous spot for 2nd and 24 on the a46. If
"crack back" means that A82 hit B62 in the side or front above the waist,
there is no foul. If there is a penalty, the clock starts on the snap
because of the TD, and the play clock is set to 25. If there is no penalty,
TD. Play clock is set to 25.
