Kickoff from the 5 yard line?
Nebraska class A championship.
Team A, previously undefeated trails big. A scores a touchdown and commits a UNS. Enforcement is chosen for the kickoff. After the try another UNS by A, with succeeding spot enforcement. Kicking from K's 10 yard line, OFK (ENC) by K on the ensuing kickoff. Ball is then kicked off from K's 5. Am I correct that we should be at the 7.5? Or do we always kick from a big line? I can't find a rule stating as such, but I'm sitting at home so I assume this crew knows their rules better than me. Last edited by Reffing Rev.; Wed Nov 30, 2016 at 09:25am. |

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?

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.

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. |

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

Now, if someone were to argue that the distance puts the ball in Team B's end zone and that results in a touchback, THEN I agree. But a potential enforcement spot that makes the next snap not possible (without further comment) to me, is unavailable. Are there any exceptions to this idea in either Fed or NCAA? I can't think of any in the latter. |

But then again, I've never seen a kickoff from anywhere near R's GL. I think the farthest I've ever seen is from R's 45. |

And if K wants to preserve that possibility, they can decline the distance that'd make it impossible.

It has, but that's not what I was referring to ... you said, "The only thing I've gotten here is that they just can't take that choice"
... which is the answer to your question.

If that's not what you're stating, then I'm not sure of your point. I reread the issue and my response and it is relevant. |
