NCAA: Kickoff goes OOB

[BktBallRef]

With this year's rule change, on 1st down, does the clock start on the ready?

So the ball going OOB is of no consequence?

On first down when B is starting a new series after a COP the clock starts on the ready. This is one of those times.

Just in case this wasn't covered bacl in July, lets says team-B wants to accept the penalty and have team-A rekick.
Now, when do you all think the clock will start per rule and not per what some conference supervisors might have told ya.

If B takes the ball at the OOB spot or 20 yards from where kicked, it will start on the RFP. If A has to rekick it starts on the legal kick.

What happened at the end of the previous play is of no consequence here. Since Team B is going to put the ball in play it will start on the RFP (assuming they DO put it in play) Think of it like this...assume it is 4th down and A goes for it. They are 2 yards short of the LTG when the runner goes OOB. Clock is restarting on the RFP.
