In a football game, the score is tied with just a few seconds left in the game. The ball is near the goal line so the offense sets up for a short game-winning field goal. Then what could the referee do if the defense jumps offsides before the snap, he calls a penalty, then they jump offsides again and again and again?
They might go offsides 20 plays in a row then the next play they do not jump offsides but the holder and kicker are surprised by the snap and their timing is thrown off. Each penaIty is only inches once ball is inside the 1 yd line. I have never seen this done. Is there a rule against it? If the defense is about to lose the game anyways, why not try this?
