Here is a crazy play to get your brain in a twist. Have fun.
4th quarter and there are 14 seconds on the game clock as the play begins, time expires during the play just as B10 recovers the ball. 4th & 16 from the 50. Kicker A25 attempts a rugby style punt that is blocked by B50 at the B-48 yard line. The ball deflects back into Team A's backfield area where it is picked up by B70 at the A-48 yard line. B70 carries the ball ten yards before he is stripped by A25 at the A-38 yard line. A25 picks up the fumble and carries it forward while clearly remaining inside the tackle box. Realizing he cannot make the line to gain, he establishes himself to kick the ball at the A-43 yard line. As he kicks the ball downfield, he is simultaneously hit hard by B50 who does not touch the ball and was legally blocked into A25 by A15.
B35, after giving a valid fair catch signal, attempts to catch the ball at the B-30 yard line where he is not given an unimpeded opportunity to make the catch. As the ball comes down, it strikes A45 in the shoulder at the B-31 yard line before it hits B35 in the leg at the B-30 yard line, the ball caroms toward the Team A goal line. Returner B35 immediately blocks A45 at the B-29 yard line to keep him from recovering the ball. The ball is recovered by B10 at the B-24. A45 "spears" B10 at the B-24 yard line after he covers the ball. During the kick, the Line Judge runs into a member of the Team A coaching staff who was three yards on the field as he retreated downfield to help cover the kick. No whistles were sounded nor any signal given until B10 recovered the ball at the B-24. Time expired just before the recovery.
Ruling:
