Another Kick question (free kick)
Fed Rules: On a free kick, the kick bounces over R’s head as he’s running back to get the ball he possesses it at the 3 yard line and goes into the end zone but comes back out and is down at the 5 yard line. Is this the momentum exception or would this be a touchback?

Deleting because I was wrong and don't want to confuse anyone.

EXCEPTION: When a defensive player intercepts an opponent’s forward pass; intercepts
or recovers an opponent’s fumble or backward pass; or an R player catches or recovers a scrimmage kick or free kick between his 5-yard line and the goal line, and his original momentum carries him into the end zone where the ball is declared dead in his team’s possession or it goes out of bounds in the end zone, the ball belongs to the team in possession at the spot where the pass or fumble was inter cepted or recovered or the kick was caught or recovered. |

SGR, how long have you been a referee? :rolleyes:

Yes, we have momentum here. A kick possessed by a player is no longer a kick, so when the ball goes into the endzone, it can't be a touchback by that virtue.
The momentum spot is bean bagged where he gained possession. Had he stayed in the endzone, he would get the ball at the 3. Since he brought it out, it doesn't matter. |
That is true Bossman!
