Offensive P.I. on try.
BBR, if you check rule 10, loss of down fouls by the offense on try attempts are not enforced on the kick-off. No points, no replay and K kicks off from the 40. The rule only applies to fouls by the defense on successful try attempts.
Sorry, I don't have the rule books available. But I will get back to you with a rule reference.
And just a quick observation on the momentum rule (for discussion purposes only; it was not addressed by RJ40 in his question but its worth talking about): it applies only to catches, not recoveries. So if that kick was grounded and R recovers it between his 5 and the goal line and his momemtum carries him into his endzone, the momentum exception is not in effect. Its a safety if the ball becomes dead in B's possession (team or player) behind the goal line.
