MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
30 sec • 1 pt
On the opening kickoff of the game, the kick bounces at the 9 and is heading toward the endzone. R18 fields the grounded kick at the 2 yard line, and his momentum carries him 2 steps into the end zone. R18 then heads back out of the end zone and runs out of bounds at the 15 yard line.
Touchback as soon as R18 crossed the goal line. First and 10 from the 20.
Deadball as soon as R18 crossed the goal line. Momentum rule applies. First and 10 at the 2 yard line where he gained possession
Momentum exception applies, but R18 may still return the kick. First and 10 at the 15 yard line
If R18 had decided to take a knee in the end zone, it would have been a safety
Answer explanation
8.5.2 is the momentum exception. R may catch or recover a kick between the 5 and the goal line and his momentum may carry him into the end zone. That does not end the play. If he downs it there, the ball goes to the spot of the catch/recovery. If he runs it out, it is just like any other play.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

R18 is standing at the 50 yard line to receive a punt. He catches it at the 50 and then immediately raises one hand over his head and waves it side-to-side
Invalid fair catch signal. Shut down the play. Penalize R 5 yards from the end of the kick
Illegal fair catch signal. Shut down the play. Penalize R 5 yards from the end of the kick
Illegal fair catch signal. Play is still live. Penalize R 5 yards from the spot of the foul or the end of the play.
Invalid Fair catch signal. Play is still live. Penalize R 5 yards from the previous spot.
Answer explanation
This is an illegal fair catch signal per 2.9.5. This DOES NOT automatically end the play, however as officials BE SMART an shut it down if everybody stops and it could be dangerous. This is not PSK since the kick is over at this point, so you enforce like any other penalty on a return.

On fourth and 10 from the team K 20, K9 punts a high, short kick. R18 is back to receive the punt and makes a valid fair catch signal while the ball is in the air, but is still standing at midfield when R33 catches the punt at the 38 yard line of team K.
Foul on R33 for an invalid catch after a teammate called for a fair catch. Penalize 5 yards from the spot of the catch
Live ball. Allow the action to continue until R33 is tackled
Dead ball as soon as R33 catches the kick.
Foul on R33 for an invalid catch after a teammate called for a fair catch. Penalize 5 yards from the previous spot
Answer explanation
6.5.3 says if any receiver gives a signal, any of his teammates may still catch the kick. It is not a fair catch, and that player is not afforded the same level of protection, but it also make the ball become dead.

4th and 10 from midfield. K9 receives a clean snap and takes a standard 2 step movement to punt the ball away. R43 is trying to block the punt, but does not quite get there in time. However, his angle and momentum causes him to run into the outstretched kicking leg of K9, causing K9 to spin and then fall down.
Foul for rouging the kicker, as when in doubt we call contact on the kicking leg as roughing.
Foul for running into the kicker, as when in doubt we call contact on the kicking leg as running into, unless it becomes severe.
No foul on this play if the kick was already gone.
Answer explanation
When in Doubt (page 6 of the 2023 MHSAA Manual)
· Roughing the kicker should be called for forcible contact to the plant leg
· Running into the kicker in general is called when the contact is on the kicking leg, unless severe or forceful
