1) Field Goals
If a field goal crosses the goal line and is no good it is a touchback. Rule 8-5-3-a-1 says it is a touchback when any free kick or scrimmage kick:
1. Which is not a scoring attempt or which is a grounded three point field goal attempt, breaks the plane of R's goal line unless R chooses a spot of first touching by K.
Q: What is meant by grounded, does this mean that if the ball is kicked from the ground instead of the a block it can be taken at the spot it was kicked or a touchback? Please help and be very specific with your answer.
Penalty Enforcements.
A)On 3 and 8 from A's 35 A runs for 10 yards. Once the play is dead there is a late hit personal foul on A. Is the resulting enforcement
a) 1 and 10 from A's 30 yd line
b) 1 and 25 at A's 30yd line
c) 4 and 13 from A's 30yd line
B) A's ball 3rd down and goal from B's 9 and there is a personal foul on B after the play. Is it half the distance and 1st down or 4th?
C) A coach is running his mouth too much, is the signal personal foul unsportsmanlike conduct or just a personal foul?
Thanks again for all your help.

A - c) 4th and 3 from the 30
B - 1/2 the distance and it is 4th down. The only automatic first downs are for roughing (snapper, kicker, holder, and the qb) and defensive pass interference
C - just unsportsmanlike signal
