PSK with IW?

[Brian26]

I was searching through some past PSK posts and came across this one. What if it was fourth and 8 instead of fourth and 12? Since this is enforced from previous spot would this give K a first down?


SITUATION E...[/b]K's ball, fourth and 12, on R's 45-yard line. K8's punt is rolling on R's 16 when an inadvertent whistle sounds. R76 blocks K84 in the back on R's 22-yard line during the down prior to the whistle. RULING: By rule, an inadvertent whistle during a kick (loose ball play) and declination of all fouls, stipulates a replay of the down.  However, if the penalty for R's illegal block is accepted, the penalty is enforced from the previous spot and K will replay the fourth down, fourth and 2 from R's 35-yard line.  (2-16-2h, 4-2-2i, 4-2-3a, 4-2-3d. 6-2-7, 10-4-3)

Yes. This is not Psk because R didn’t have possession at the end of the down. Therefore, previous spot enforcement gives K first down.

Thanks. That’d be a fun one to explain to Team R coach.

You give coaches too much credit.  There was a time not that long ago when there was no PSK rule.

When the IW blows, team B will not be next to put the ball in play (since a loose legal kick requires replaying the down).  Therefore, you can't have PSK.
