Questions
O.K....2 questions:
1) 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? 2) 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? Thanks all. |

1) Safety. Doesn't matter if the kick is legal or not (or, if an illegal kick, if the penalty is accepted or declined).
2) Assuming you mean that the kick was fielded cleanly by R (not muffed), then you simply have a facemask penalty during a running play by the team not in possession of the ball. Enforce accordingly. (ie, from the end of the related run/spot of the fumble). |

No, because as he said, you enforce from the end of the run during which the foul occurred, and that run was by the receiving team's player.

The receiving team's player fumbled the ball, which was recovered by the kicking team's player. But, there was a facemask against the receiving team right before the fumble. So, the receiving team's player did not complete a run. Does the facemask call nullify the fumble?

Something that reads so clearly, that causes a lot of confusion is "a kick remains a kick, until it's no longer a kick" (which means:" a kick remains a kick until someone/anyone POSSESSES it, or it's blown dead. NFHS 2-34-1.
No matter who, or how many different people touch/muff a kick, it remains a kick until it's actually POSSESSED. While a kick is still a kick it is a LOOSE BALL, and any fouls that occur are enforced as such. The key to your question, aside from who actually grabbed a facemask, is whether that happened DURING the kick, or after it was RECOVERED (which requires POSSESSION, not just touching/muffing), and would then be enforced from the end of the related run (the fumble) rather than the previous spot. The "Kicking Rules" are an area worthy of extensive review & discussion. Last edited by ajmc; Mon Sep 12, 2016 at 10:54am. |

The receiving team gets to keep the ball, and the FM penalty will be marked off from the end of the run -- the spot where he fumbled.
