Does anyone understand the penalty on the onside kick?? Yes, i am biased, but i call bull sh!t!!!
Zach Jones, number 42, was supposed to be on the left side of Havens making him the 4th guy on one side of ball when being kicked off. THe rule states that you have to have at least four guys on one side of the ball when the ball is kicked
If this is a technical question:
The kicking team can't cross the 40 yard line until the kicker's foot has touched the ball.
If this is a rhetorical question:
I agree with your assessment. Just watch the NFL and count how many penalties there should be on kickoffs in one game.

Where'd you here that? You don't have to have 4 guys on one side of the ball.
Honest to God, the Umpire said that BU got penalized b/c we had only 3 players on the left side of the kickoff formation.
Is there some rule saying that x number of players have to be on each side of the ball?
And the kick was a thing of beauty. Havens hit a low line drive down the right side of the field and, when the ball hit, it kicked towards the center. The KU player fielded it on the one and was tackled in the endzone. I thought we had a safety, but the field judge put the ball at the one. Then the damn penalty.
Did we really commit an "illegal shift" penalty?
That is not a rule. Unless NCAA rules are different. In a HS game with a team I have coached on we kicked an onside with three players on one side and seven on the other. I am not a head coach and have only been doing this for three years, but that's a new one for me.

Praise Jesus always.
It is a "new" rule in NCAA. I saw new because it has been changed within the last 10 years or so.

It is an NCAA rule that on free kicks at least four players on the kicking team must be on either side of the kicker when the ball is kicked, and since the UIL plays by NCAA rules then it is also the rule in Texas HS football.

Yes, I know we play by NCAA rules. I was not aware of the changed rule.
