NCAA: Kickoff goes OOB
 

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.
