Don't worry, the wing guys will pick up the slack and get to the goal line. The ol' ump won't have to signal TD from the 35!!

Thanks for the lesson in Fed rules. I think we've digressed beyond the original question about a kickoff, but it's interesting anyway since I don't know much about the Feb rules.

Hmmm, we'd better check the rule book (again, I'm talking NCAA).

9-4-1b reads:

This would seem to allow the...

I guess you're talking about someone trying to jump up and bat the ball away before it crosses the crossbar. There's no NCAA rule against that (see 9-4-1b).

The interesting thing in this...

You must certainly be talking about the Federation rule, which apparently doesn't allow the receiving team to advance the ball out of the end zone. I can't speak to the reasoning behind that rule,...

Agreed that kick plays can be more dangerous, due mainly to the fact that there are more bodies moving at higher speeds than on other typical scrimmage plays. But all the things that "chiefgil"...

Under NCAA rules, the a kick becomes dead by rule when it hits the ground in the endzone and is untouched beyond the line of scrimmage by Team B (the receiving team).

If a receiver catches or...

The article referred to came out a couple of months ago. It talks about how Luckett's career has been affected by the incident. I'll try to find it at the house. In the meantime, if you've never...

Fumble vs Incompletion

I have no idea about changes in NFL scoring rules, but I did notice an incorrect statement you made regarding the direction of the ball as it is fumbled. Now I officiate under NCAA rules and not NFL...
