(3) No. First touching by K. R may take ball at point of FT.
6-2-5; 6-3-1-a.

Unless the touching is in or behind the expanded neutral zone, in which case the touching is ignored.

K4's low place kick, a field goal attempt, strikes K66, who is blocking on the line of scrimmage, in the head and caroms through the goal ... 3 points! Now that's using your noggin!

Fed rules: See Casebook 4.2.2.I
