Impartial_Observer Posted October 7, 2019 Posted October 7, 2019 Following a PAT, multiple dead ball fouls are called B/R, four to be exact. 1 R's 45, 2 R's 30, 3 R's 15, 4 R's 7.5. Rule book states 10 yards between K's LOS and R's restraining line. What do we have? Quote
0 SoIndRef Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 I think the fact that four days have passed and no one wants to touch this one, means you only have one option.... Start the van...... Quote
0 JustRules Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 R can still only be 10-yards from the kick line so they will be 2.5 yards deep in the end zone. The best option for K is to kick it so it rolls dead inside the 5. They can't legally recover, but they would pin R deep. The other option is to kick it out of bounds so R will accept the 5-yard penalty form the previous spot and rekick (can't put it 25 yards beyond the free kick line and they probably wouldn't accept 5 yards in advance of where it went OOB. Then K could try to onside kick it and recover inside the 2. Quote

0 Impartial_Observer Posted October 10, 2019 Author Posted October 10, 2019 We were dangerously close to this last week, one USC away. I posted on a FB group. I have not been able to find any specific rule reference, other than R's restraining line must be 10 yards beyond K's LOS. One tip I found was to use the chains to set R's restraining line. The obvious applies, if the ball touches the GL it's a TB. If the ball doesn't go 10 yards K can not recover unless touched by R. Quote

I think the best option is for K to decline the yardage of the last one or 2 and have the ball placed where they can recover an onside kick. If I’m K I’d rather free kick from the 14 let’s say I dint know the exact yardline but then you can recover a onside kick and if not it might be onside the 5. If not the dribble it is the best option Quote
