Illegal Touching and OPI

[cmathews]

Bill,
Yes I think they do want that penalty enforced from the previous spot. PSK is not a license to hold, block in the back etc....it just means that when K kicks the ball past the ENZ that they have given up possesion...in your scenario they actually could maintain possesion and possibly get a first down with a scramble.. Let me pose this to you, say the punter gets tackled...do you think that the federation wants this penalty enforced then?? To me there is very little difference...until K gives up possesion, R must keep their nose or hands clean..
