KICKING TEAM PLAYER OUT OF BOUNDS
Article 3
A player of the kicking team, who has been out of bounds,
may not touch or recover a
scrimmage kick beyond the line of scrimmage until it
has been touched by a kicking team player who has
not been out of bounds, or until it has been touched
by a player of the receiving team beyond the line.
Note: If a player touches or recovers the ball before he
has re-established himself inbound, the ball is out of
bounds at the spot of the touch, and there is no foul.
Penalty: For illegal touching of a scrimmage kick:
Loss of five yards. If the illegal touching is inside
the receiver’s five-yard line, in addition to the
other specified options, the receiving team may
elect to take a touch-back.
I wonder if that "may elect to take a touchback" part is new though? Can't recall ever seeing that beofre.
Nice work by you Teach, thanks!

Your last words to me: "Your a great guy RFIP. I was very sad when you left the board, and your son, but was glad to see you back. Take care my friend, may God be by your side." 09/09/2017 12:58AM
No Nelson, you were a far better man than I, and I am sure an awesome husband and father as well. I will miss you my friend. -RFIP
