kickoff oob enforcement

[jophyal]

A kickoff out of bounds, untouched by any team... what are the correct enforcements?
I thought...
1) Back up 5 yds and rekick
2) 30 yds from spot of kickoff
3) 5 yds from out of bounds spot...
My enforcement question is "Team B can choose the 5 yard penalty behind Team Bs 30... but if the kick goes out of bounds before the 30 doesn't Team B have to decline the penalty and accept the ball where it went out of bounds?"

NCAA rules... Texas High School Football

[Canned Heat]

No...there are 3 options...

1) 25 yards from spot of previous kick
2) 5 yard penalty and re-kick
3) Take possession at inbound spot where ball went OOB

NFHS...I'm assuming.

These are the NCAA enforcements. Canned Heat gave you NFHS. The team can elect any enforcement they desire.

does that mean that they can recieve the 5 yard enforcement if the ball travels, untouched to the 50 yd line. or do they take it at the spot it went out...?

Assuming a regular kickoff spot (that is, not moved by penalty) from the 30, and kick OOB at the 50, here are the options:
1) Back up 5 yds and rekick from the 25.
2) 30 yds from spot of kickoff, first and 10 from the receiving team's 40.
3) 5 yds from out of bounds spot, first and 10 from the kicking team's 45.

Most likely the receiving team will choose #3.

FYI.....for Fed, the Kick line is not the 30 (40 YL), and in Fed...there is no 5 yard penalty on the OOB spot. The ball goes 1st and 10 from the inbound spot where it went OOB....if we're still inquiring on FED adaptation.

Yes, I'm aware of that. The original question was about NCAA, so I provided the NCAA answer.

CANADIAN RULING:

• 5 yards, re-kick
• Team B 1D/10 @ spot ball went OB
• +25 yards from KO line, Team B 1D/10
