6-5-6-Exp
NF rules: my crew has been discussing 6-5-6-Exp ad nauseum. In the Iowa v. NIU game at Soldier Field Iowa had a player laying in the end zone on a scrimmage kick who reached across the goal line and batted the ball to keep it out of the end zone. The NCAA officials reviewed the play and left the ball at the 2 where it finally became dead after the batting. I asked our back judge...how would you rule in our high school game if no R player is around and 6-5-6-Exp is therefore in effect can K be standing in the end zone...reach through the plane(because we know in NF it's dead immediate when ball breaks the plane) and bat the ball towards his goal line. An internet thread on the Hawkeye page spoke about this and claimed all 3 codes differ. I'm just interested in the NF rule and book support for it please.
