[QUOTE="Navy_illini, post: 1938402, member: 748110"] Any time a player slides it is a dead ball. Likewise if the ball would be incomplete or a runner runs out of bounds or whistle blows it would be dead However on the late hit outbounds I have seen a first down be awarded if the runner was short of the line of gain on 4th down The rule book should allow flexibility in these instances. The hit occurred during the conduct of the play and should be considered a live ball penalty. I think refs normally give the first down based on games I have seen Looking at rules closer if you go by what is written the refs got it right because the slide made it a dead ball therefore change of possession Roughing the qb can be a dead ball if the ball is ruled incomplete or whistle blows first then the hit occurs. I agree rare but could happen [/QUOTE]
