Football Fundamentals (All solved correctly)

I. Possession correct answers 1. A live ball is always in possession of a team. 2. A live ball is in player possession or is loose. 3. A loose ball is in possession of the team whose player was last in possession. 4. A player in possession of a live ball is a runner. 5. A player cannot fumble before gaining possession. 6. No foul causes loss of the ball. 7. After a distance penalty, the ball belongs to the team which was in possession at the time of the foul according to applicable rules. Team possession may then change if a new series is awarded. 8. Possession of a live ball in the opponent's end zone is always a touchdown. II. Downs correct answers 1. A down begins when the ball becomes live and ends when it becomes dead. 2. Whether the next down will be first is determined at the time the ball becomes dead and after considering the effect of any act, except a nonplayer or unsportsmanlike foul, which occurred during the down. 3. If R is first to touch a scrimmage kick beyond the neutral zone, a new series will be awarded the team in possession at end of the down, unless there was a foul before the kick and the penalty was accepted, or there was a double foul or there was an inadvertent whistle during the kick following the touching by R. 4. The only defensive fouls which automatically cause a first down are pass interference, roughing the kicker or place-kick holder, roughing the passer and roughing the snapper. 5. If the penalty is accepted for any live ball foul by either team during the last timed down of a period, the period must be extended by an untimed down, except for unsportsmanlike fouls, nonplayer fouls, fouls that specify a loss of down, or fouls as specified in Rule 3-3-4. 6. No series can ever start on a down other than first. III. Dead ball correct answers 1. A game official's whistle seldom kills the ball. It is already dead by rule. 2. No live-ball foul causes the ball to become dead. 3. A dead ball may become live only by a legal snap or free kick. 4. Catching is always preceded by touching of the ball; thus, if touching causes the ball to become dead, securing possession of the ball has no significance. IV. Kicks-General correct answers 1. A kick always ends as soon as any player secures possession. 2. Any R player may catch or recover a kick and advance unless a valid or invalid fair-catch signal has been given by any R player. 3. If a legal kick is caught in or beyond the neutral zone to R's goal line on a free kick and beyond the neutral zone to R's goal line on a scrimmage kick by a receiver after he has signaled for a fair catch, it is a fair catch and the ball becomes dead as soon as it is caught. 4. A fair catch may be made of any free kick which is in or beyond the neutral zone to R's goal line or a scrimmage kick which is beyond the neutral zone to R's goal.
