Illegal Bat - NCAA
Need help with this play:
4/15 @ A30. Team A's snap is over the punter's head. While rolling on the ground near the A10 the punter kicks the ball out of the end zone. Ruling? I'm thinking B has the option of B 1/G @ A5 or a safety, but I am not sure if a loose ball foul by A is enforced at the spot of the foul or previous spot. Thoughts? Please provide rule references if possible. |
As written, you've described an illegal kick, not an illegal bat.
The penalty for an illegal kick (or illegal bat) is 10 yards + LOD (9-4-1 and 9-4-4). Basic spot is the previous spot (10-2-2-d). Foul is behind the basic spot, so penalty is enforced from spot of the foul (10-2-2-c-1). So, Team B has two options: Decline the penalty, take the result of the play: Safety. Take the penalty, and have 1st-goal from the A-5. |
