REPLY: I'll jump in...since the ball is at rest, there can be no question that B supplied the force that put the ball into their end zone. And since it was a TRY (you might have missed that) and the ball became dead behind B's goal line, A is awarded one point.

Assuming the kick was inadvertent, there's no foul to consider. If the kick was intentional, then the foul needs to be considered. Anyone want to take a shot at A's options if B's kick is ruled an illegal kick?
