Did this play occur in Ohio by chance. If so, I think you kicked it. "Expanded Neutral Zone"

The original post said contact with the ball occurred "just across the neutral zone". It's not clear whether that meant the expanded neutral zone or the regular one.

the ball went about one yard beyond the original line of scrimmage and then hit K in the back.

yes. did you see the film on this play? i am sure you know which game it was. i would like to see that play again myself.

I did not see it, but we both know who did. Your wing who pushed R's ball is seen running down field, not looking back. Again, that is the coach's perspective. Word is, you didn't seem to support the decision to give R the ball.
