"Kick strikes Official"
In the case play, K is attempting a field goal. The kick, untouched by K or R, strikes the umpire who is standing in the end zone, and caroms off him over the cross bar and through the uprights. The answer given is that the kick is no good, and a touchback results. I disagree. The kick should be scored a field goal. If you read rules 4-2-2d, 4-2-2e3, 6-3-1b, and 8-5-3a2, it does not say the ball becomes dead when it strikes an official inbounds. Inbounds includes the field of play and the end zone. Can anybody help me out? Am I missing a rule or a case play here?
