Title: Illegal Kick
Post by: Rulesman on September 18, 2012, 10:27:32 PM: Midway through the 3rd quarter it is 4th and 18 at the A-30. The snap sails over punter A39's head and is rolling on the ground at the A-12 when A39 kicks the ball out of the back of his end zone. Options for Team B?

We are talking NCAA rules for this play. (It, or one very similar, actually happened last Saturday).

The R mis-spoke. The actual enforcement was half the distance. While they got that right, even the best screw up an announcement every now and then.
