re: Have we talked about the squib kick from our own 20 with 44 seconds left?

Let's pretend in this scenario, that the ball is not going over their head, but is instead kicked short and bouncing. If you are at the 15, and you charge forward at a ball that you judge will be at the 25, but then takes a bounce to put it somewhere beyond the 15. Regular kickoff, it is in the end zone, dead ball. In the penalty scenario, the ball now has a chance to be live for 15 more yards, which you are responsible for. If you rush the ball and misjudge its distance, its a live ball, so you hesitate until you are more sure of where it is heading.

If a kicked-off ball goes untouched into the end zone and then is recovered by a member of the kicking team, it's a touchdown for the kicking team.
