3/35 from the A-15. Team A comes to the line and snaps it to the QB (A1) who is in shotgun formation. A1 quick punts and it is blocked behind the neutral zone by B1. A1 then goes after the ball and recovers it on his knees at the A-10.

Results of play, and clock status please.

Guessing, since I'm an NCAA guy, and my entire knowledge of FED is from reading you guys' posts.

4th and 40 from the 10, clock never should have stopped, so it continues running.

Again - just guessing.

I would have to agree. 4th & 40, clock running.

Result of play is:
4th and 40 from the A-10
Clock status is: Still running as it should have never been stopped!

Should have known I couldn't stump you guys. NCAA, it WOULD have stopped and been started on the snap, right?

I am not aware of any (rule difference) reason as to why this situation would be any different under NCAA rules.

4th and 40 from the 10, clock never stopped.

In league where only 3 downs are played, it is unlikely to see a quick kick, but nonetheless, the ruling is:

Distance not gained - B 1D/10 @ A-10. Clock stopped on the whistle, clock starts on teh RFP prior to the 3MW, and the snap after the 3MW.

No, no need to stop the clock on this play in NCAA either.

SouthGARef Mon Sep 27, 2004 03:09pm
Hmmm...

4th & 40... clock running.

jimbulger1 Mon Sep 27, 2004 03:20pm

did b block in the back before the kick or during???
if before i agree on 4th and 40
if after the kick has crossed the expanded neutral zone how is this different than a 4th down PSK foul....just because it is third down??? i dont think you would penalize different

if its after the kick has crossed the expanded neutral zone I say 1st down and 10 ball spotted 10 yards behind where the kick ended.... clock starts on snap

There was no block in the back. B blocked the kick. Though you might want to also review the definition of PSK :)

biglaz Mon Sep 27, 2004 03:28pm
Nevermind me then, you fixed it too quickly :p

No PSK since the ball never crossed the expanded neutral zone, but then again no PSK since there was no penalty on the original play either. :)

Wasn't this a legal kick and doesn't the clock start on the snap after a legal kick?

NCAA Rule 3-2d.
