VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 NFHS Rule 4-2-2 (dead ball)... . . . The ball becomes dead and the down is ended: a. When a runner goes out of bounds, is held so his forward progress is stopped or allows any part of his person other than hand or foot to touch the ground. EXCEPTION: The ball remains live if, at the snap, a place-kick holder with his knee(s) on the ground and with a teammate in kicking position: 1. Catches or recovers the snap while his knee(s) is on the ground and places the ball for a kick, or if he rises to advance, hand, kick or pass. 2. Rises and catches an errant snap and immediately returns his knee(s) to the ground and places the ball for a kick or again rises to advance, hand, kick or pass. NOTE: The ball becomes dead if the place-kick holder muffs the snap or fumbles and recovers after his knees have been off the ground, and he then touches the ground with other than hand or foot while in possession of the ball.

The "NOTE" is what I was referring to as lifting and putting knee back down...I knew he could do option #2... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
