Good question and thought-provoking responses. You guys are making me get into my rule book. This is a good thing.
Rule 2-13-4-a states that: Force is not a factor on kicks going into R's endzone since these kicks are always a touchback regardless of who supplied the force.
I was wondering if this is still a kick, since it was grounded. By definition this is still a kick since no one has gained possession and the ball has not become dead.(2-23-2) Thus, 2-13-4-a is in effect here.
I believe we have a touchback. Basic spot is the 20 and the foul occurred behind the basic spot (R8)so the penalty enforcement is from the 8, half the distance, first and ten for R at R4.
