YEP! Safety, either way.

Correct! "Do you want a safety or a safety?" Please don't take the time to check with your coach.

However, had the ball been kicked from the field of play out the back of the endzone, now you do have some options!

If he had kicked it at the 4 into the endzone and out the back, you have illegal kick - loose ball play and the spot of K's fould is behind the basic (previous) spot.

Decline - Result of play - saftey.
Accept - K's ball, 5 yard penalty (1/2 the distance) from the 4 so it will be K's ball 4th & whatever from the 2.
