Changes In Grid Rules Should Aid Offensive Teams
The National Federation of High School Athletic Associations announced rule changes to help offenses. A illegal forward pass beyond the line of scrimmage now results in loss of down and five yards from the throw spot, with gains before the illegal toss allowed. Re-entry is limited to one match in the fourth quarter, and scrimmage zone penalties may not place the ball within half the distance to the goal. Disqualification fouls carry a 15 yard penalty and backfield men may hand forward to eligible receivers.
