Free Kick question.
I actually had the first part of this question happen in a varsity game last night! The K player recovered however on the one yard line.
Anyway. Free kick. Ball hits at the 15 and bounces forward. R, having a brain fart, lets it roll. It rolls to the one and is covered by K. Easy enought. Now what if when K fell on it, they muffed it into the endzone where it is covered by K? Touchdown, safety, or R's ball on the 1? |

ART. 1 . . . It is a touchback if any free kick or scrimmage kick:
a. Which is not a scoring attempt or which is a grounded three-point fieldgoal attempt, breaks the plane of R’s goal line, unless R chooses a spot of first touching by K. If K muffed it, they did not recover it or possess the ball. Kick doesn't end unless possessed. R has options but will take the touchback. |

A kick ends when a player gains possession or is declared dead while not in possession. Any kick crossing the receiver's goal line is an automatic touchback. If K jumps on it and it squirts over the plane of the goal line it is a touchback.

On a free kick where the kick is grounded and near R's goal line?

Don't be so hard on him. He knows that competent people don't make mistakes. How could you not realize that there must have been a lot of fouls on R after the try so the kickoff was from R's 10 yard line...therefore when K touched it at the 1 it was still in the NZ...
