Expert: Thom Brooks - 11/30/2009

Question
I attended a game between Memphis state and U of Tenneessee back in the 70's ....memphis was called for offensive pass interference in the end zone while trying to score....the ruling on the field was that this penalty gave ut the ball on the 20 yard line ...it was on a second down play...was this an ncaa rule or an experimental sec rule....I have been trying to find a history of rules with no luck...please help...thank you

Answer
Wayne, hello!

I have attached some websites for you to explore but I have no memory of a ball being turned over the the Defense after a 2nd down penalty.  Could it have been a 3rd down with Intentional Grounding, or a Safety?

If I can find the answer, I will write back this week!!
