Play to discuss

4/10 from K-20. Snapper K1 snaps ball to K7. K7 misses snap and ball is rolling around. While the ball is rolling around, K25 holds R99 at the K-18. K7 picks the ball up and advances to the K-23. Not knowing exactly where he is, he kicks the ball away like a punt. After the kicked ball is away and while K7 still has not regained his balance, R85 levels K7 with what otherwise would be a legal block. R19 signals for a fair catch but muffs the "punt" at the R-43 and K83 goes downfield, secures possession of the ball at the R-40 and runs the ball for an apparent touchdown.

Break the play down. What is legal, illegal, and what options do you offer to teams if any. What is the status of the clock after all options are offered.

(The key is knowing where K7 kicks the ball from).
