Touchback?
I am going to change this a little....
4th and 5 from the 50. K1 legally punts the ball. The ball hits the ground at the R-15 and then bounces just over R1's shoulder (i.e. the ball never touched him). K2 and R2, thinking R1 has touched the ball, dive for it. The ball is still rolling K2 is the first to touch the ball as he muffs it at the R-10 towards R's goal line where The ball comes to rest again at the R-5 where R2 then muffs it into and through R's end zone.
PSU is correct on a ball at rest first touched by K, but what if the ball never came to rest? The way I see it is that R has two choices, the spot of first touching or they would be subject to a safety. Didn't they supply the force into the end zone?
