And, considering that there's no way K can score other than via FG -- in Fed they can't advance their own free kick, and the ball is dead once it crosses the goal line plane and its failure to score a goal is evident -- what's the smart
and legal way for R to play it?
To avoid any chance of their committing a foul, can they leave all their players off the field, saying they're just playing 11 short for that down? What if K calls and is given time out, and team R tries that at the resumption -- is it failure to be ready in a timely fashion for resumption of play?
