Cool...Thanks.

The ball is snapped over the punters head and into the end zone. He runs back and kicks the ball out the SIDE of the end zone. What should the resulting call be?

NCAA: Result of the play is a safety. A flag should be for illegally kicking the ball (assuming the ball is loose when kicked; if the punter picked it up and kicked it out of the end zone, no foul). However, since both the result and the foul end up with the same result, the R will signal the foul as declined.

The ball is punted. The receiving team fumbles and the ball is recovered by the kicking team. But, right before the fumble, the kicking team gets called for a facemask penalty. Who gets the ball and where should it be placed?

NCAA: basic spot enforcement. Flag at the spot of the facemask and bean bag at the spot of the fumble. The basic spot on this play is the end of the run (foul by team not in possession) which is the bean bag, and the 15 yard penalty is enforced from this spot.
