From the Fed Board-Illegal Touching

[Legacy Zebra]

For those of y'all who don't read the NFHS board, Ralph Damren posted a question and I was wondering, the NCAA ruling. So here's the question:

 (1)A's ball 4 & 10 @ 50; (2) B1 is flagged for running into the kicker; (3) A1 touches the grounded kick @ B's 35 ; (4) A2 scoops up kick @ B's 30 ; (5) B2 fumbles on return @ B's 40; (6) A scoops up fumble and returns for TD. What are the options?

My thoughts are that since the down ends in a TD, Team B's foul is declined by rule, therefore the illegal touching comes into play and B/R gets the ball . What gets me is the last sentence of 10-2-5-a-2 "Penalties for all other fouls are not enforced on the try or the succeeding kickoff. Such penalties are declined by rule unless enforcement is made possible by illegal touching of a kick during the down." But what's got me stuck is that last part. When does illegal touching make enforcement possible?

As best as I can determine, illegal touching makes enforcement possible when B's foul occurs prior to Team A last recovering the ball prior to the A touchdown. B fouls occurring during A's last run would have a basic enforcement spot at the goal line - not enforceable.
  In Ralph's play, the B foul occurs during the kick and thus becomes enforceable. A's ball, 4/5 @ B-45.

jg-me has it right. See A.R. 6-3-2-IV and compare it with III.

To me, you essentially have the spirit of the rule right there.  The reason 5's and 10's are declined by rule is because you can't enforce them anywhere.  Here, there is definitely an enforcement spot (previous spot).

Am I missing something here?  In (4), once A2 scoops up the ball, the play is dead, correct?

I'm reading it as B2 picks up the ball since he's the one running with it.  Case play has a typo.

Ok, it's offseason but trying to remember 'personal fouls against the scoring team may be assessed on the try or succeeding kickoff'.

Pretty sure RTK is a 9-1 foul, no?

[jg-me]

While both running into kicker and roughing kicker fouls are both included in 9-1 (PF's), the specific rule identifies roughing as a live ball personal foul and cites running into as a live ball foul only. There are no personal fouls that have a five-yard penalty associated with them.

There are no personal fouls that have a five-yard penalty associated with them.

Even unauthorized eating of a  ?

Rulesman,
  Depending on who's snicker bar it is, the penalty may be much more severe than 15 yards!
