Defensive Offside

Definition

A player is on the wrong side of the line of scrimmage when the ball is snapped. If a defender jumps across the line but gets back to his side before the snap, there is no foul. In the case of a foul, play is not stopped, and the foul is announced at the conclusion of the play.
