3. On 4-8 from Bs 40, punter A8 muffs the snap. Under pressure, he recovers and scrambles to Bs 38 (beyond the NZ) where he punts downfield. The ball rolls into Bs EZ where A89 recovers it.
NF Illegal kick, penalize 15 yards from PS and repeat the down, or if they decline TD for A as in NF an illegal kick is treated as a fumble DONT let B decline! Result 4-23 from Bs 25
NCAA ball is dead at spot of illegal kick, 5 yard penalty from PS and LOD - so Bs ball 1-10 at Bs 45

MJT-
On the FED portion of #3 you had an enforcment option error! (Plus you marched your penalty off in the wrong direction)
Under federation code, since this play by definition was a
running play, the foul is enforced from the
end of the run which would be the B38. (You were enforcing it from the PS as you would if it were a loose ball play.)
The key here is the
illegal kick by A occurred
beyond the neutral zone!
(If B accepts the penalty it would be 4th and 21 on the A47 yard line)
Reference NFHS 10-3-2, 10-3-1c, and
2-31-1c
