Crazy play in youth game
Found this on youtube. Looks like the officials got it right. Momentum!

YouTube - Make the Call! Where is the proper spot for the ball after this punt?

Looks like they are going to put the ball in play at the 1 foot line. I don't think I would do that. Nobody in the place is going to know whether possession was gained at the 1 foot line and if not, once the ball crosses the goal line it is a touchback.

I'd have a hard time ruling possession at the 1' line on a play like this. I've got a touchback.

Agreed. This was close enough IMO to go by philosophy and make this a touchback.

Wouldn't that be bailing R out from their own bone-headed play?
