ok, I'm still slightly confused. Here's the photo

The entire ball was across the end zone line although it's been snapped already, but you can still tell, but I'm behind the pylon when the play starts... So are you saying that particular field is too small then? Because the pylons were a yard into the end zone and a yard out of bounds on both sides, not a yard into the end zone on one side and at the 1 yard line on the other side, so if the pylons are located the correct distance from eachother, then Ball State's field is a yard shorter in every direction? thusly, you could be running on the out of bounds line on the sideline, but not get called out of bounds?
