REPLY: mcrowder...both Federation and NCAA rules concur that when the ball is kicked (or otherwise loose) it is in possession of the team that last had player possession. Therefore, in this play, K was definitely in possession when the whistle was blown. And they would next be putting the ball in play. That's the real reason that PSK doesn't apply. Does R get shafted by an IW in this situation? You bet, but that's just an indication of how ugly an IW can really be.
