Incorrect Rut. The rule says to start on the snap when a new series is awarded after a legal kick. Otherwise we start on the ready. Here we do not have a new series. Start on the ready.
Reference the preceding posts: We do have a new series. Remember this little "rule of thumb": Whenever a scrimmage kick is muffed by R, the next down to be 1st for whoever recovers.
