fan If the receiving team muffs a scrimmage kick (punt) and it goes into the recieving teams endzone, can the kicking team recover it for a touchdown (NFHS)? Or would this be a touchback, with possession being given to the receiving team? Thanks, Fan
MD Longhorn BoBo wrotetouchbackwhy? I don't work fed, but if what you say is true, I have misinterpreted what I've learned here about your rules regarding kicks. I would have thought this was a TD.
BoBo once the ball breaks the plane in fed rules and NO possession by the R's then it is a touchback. I agree kind of goofy but thats the way it is. Same with a kickoff. The plane of the goalline kills the play here. 😕
JRutledge The kick does not end with a muff or first touching. So any kick that goes into the end zone is considered a still a kick and any kick that goes into the end zone without possession is a touchback. Peace
