Title: Missed fg attempt
Post by: skt101 on October 10, 2020, 05:00:05 AM

8 man football game. Team A has the ball at the 25 yd line and lines up to kick a fg. It is a miss but does not cross the goal line and becomes dead at the 5 yd line. Where does team B start their next possession? What if it does cross the goal line. Or it is blocked and the ball is behind the 25 yd line? What if either team scoops the ball up and scores. Is it a touchdown.
Several questions for this scenario. Just want to make sure it is correctly called.

Think of a FG as a punt that can score.  What are the results in the scenarios you just gave if it were a punt?  They are both just scrimmage kicks.
