hello everyone,
hope everyone had a great weekend of football!
hoping i can get some help with a scenario that came up in the fourth quarter of a game which i was refereeing last night. it was a great game the score was 6-0 with about 3:12 to go in the game; when on a fourth down play a defensive player ran into the kicker unintentionally and barely touching him during the kick, immediately i threw my flag; and when the play was over i began to give the signal and explain the option too the kicking team, when my umpire steps in and says this is a automatic first down and i explained to him that i had running into the kicker and not roughing the kicker and he insisted that this is a automatic first down, as the white hat i went with what i knew was right, i moved the kicking team up 5 yards and re kicked, but he insisted he was correct and he got a little irritated, if we had roughing the kicker thats a fifteen yard penalty and automatic firstdown. was this the correct call by national federation rule?


thanks all

tim harris
