With all that yelling at the line of scrimmage, you’d think they’d damage their vocal chords. You can’t afford to lose your voice, but there’s no question you feel it.”::When a ballcarrier is hit going out of bounds it’s a 15-yard penalty. However, Fox rules analyst Mike Pereira notes officials do view the sideline and goal line differently. “The notion of going out of bounds versus going in to score is a little bit different,” he said. As long as it’s right near the goal line, one foot might be in, but I think you’re a little bit more lenient at the goal line.
