There are three seconds on the clock.
This seems like a time where the penalty by K could actually help them out of a situation. Am I getting the penalty correct by saying that the best option for R maybe to take the re-kick from the 2 1/2 yard line.
And what about if the illegal kick had happened in the end zone?
Can the distance penalty be taken on the safety if desired?
