Welpe OKREF wroteOn the original question. K's ball on the 40. Disagree. An incomplete legal forward pass is returned to the previous spot.
OKREF Welpe wroteDisagree. An incomplete legal forward pass is returned to the previous spot. When R muffs the punt and K recovers the muff, the play is dead and it is K's ball at the spot where they recovered the muff.
Welpe OKREF wroteWhen R muffs the punt and K recovers the muff, the play is dead The play is only dead if a scrimmage kick is recovered by K beyond the LOS. This was recovered behind.
OKREF Welpe wroteThe play is only dead if a scrimmage kick is recovered by K beyond the LOS. This was recovered behind. You can't advance a muff. Can you advance a muff that is recovered behind the neutral zone? That is the central question. I have to look this up.

OKREF OKREF wroteYou can't advance a muff. Can you advance a muff that is recovered behind the neutral zone? That is the central question. I have to look this up. I am wrong. Incomplete pass. R ball 1-10 at the 50, correct?
MD Longhorn OKREF wroteI am wrong. Incomplete pass. R ball 1-10 at the 50, correct?No. (The answer is already in this thread. Read from the beginning if you want to understand both the correct ruling and why it's the ruling.)
OKREF Ref1973 wroteNFHS: K punts from the 50, R21 muffs at the R 45. Kick rolls back to the K40, where K21 picks up the ball, then throws a forward pass to the R20 where it falls incomplete. What ya got? MD Longhorn wroteNo. (The answer is already in this thread. Read from the beginning if you want to understand both the correct ruling and why it's the ruling.) Got it.
