Kickoff from the 5 yard line?

[MD Longhorn]

We kick off from where we're supposed to kick off from ... no "big line" anything, whatever that is.

But half the distance from the 10 is the 5. How are you getting 7.5?

Because the 2nd USC should have moved the ball to the 12.5 and not the 10.

Start from the 40--15 yd penalty moves it to the 25.

25 yd line--15 yd penalty, which is now half the distance, moves it to the 12.5

12.5 yd line--5 yd penalty, moves it to the 7.5

[BIG UMP]

No Rev. they fouled up the enforcement.

I'm still trying to figure out the choices team R has after a free kick to out-of-bounds when there's not enough distance from the previous spot to the goal line to take the previous-spot+25-yards option. The only thing I've gotten here is that they just can't take that choice, no specific alternative for that case.

[HLin NC]

That option is removed.


6.1.9 SITUATION H:

Team K, after accepting the penalties for multiple R fouls, is now free kicking from R's 20-yard line. In attempting to onside kick, the ball goes out bounds untouched in the field of play.

RULING: R may take the ball at the inbounds spot, or accept the 5-yard penalty and have K re-kick from R's 25-yard line.

Confused.

If you have the answer... why are you still trying to figure it out?

I didn't know it'd been answered in a case book.
