Roughing the kicker/punter question
Posted on 1/1/15 at 11:15 pm

What exactly constitutes roughing the kick/punter? And... what is the penalty? Does it result in the punting team getting a first down? or is the penalty tacked on the point the receiving team gets the ball?

It's just got to be pretty obvious.
When the core of the body is hit, it's usually roughing. That punt was not roughing. Refs made a good call.

Had it been a rough... what is the penalty. Does the kicking team get to have a first down or is is assessed on the receiving team?

it has two variations one is a five yarder and it's supposed to be accidental. like getting blocked in to the kicker/punter. the other is what you just saw which should have been a 15 yard automatic 1st down personal foul

Had it been Bama's punter it would have been roughing

Posted this a bunch, hitting kicking leg first is running, plant leg first is roughing.

Don't think that's an actual rule.
quote:
Roughing or Running Into Kicker or Holder
ARTICLE 16. a. When it is obvious that a scrimmage kick will be made, no
opponent shall run into or rough the kicker or the holder of a place kick (A.R.
9-1-16-I, III and VI).
1. Roughing is a live-ball personal foul that endangers the kicker or holder.
2. Running into the kicker or holder is a live-ball foul that occurs when the
kicker or holder is displaced from his kicking or holding position but is
not roughed (A.R. 9-1-16-II). Note: Running into the kicker carries a
five-yard penalty at the previous spot.
3. Incidental contact with a kicker or holder is not a foul.
4. The kicker’s protection under this rule ends (a)when he has had a
reasonable time to regain his balance(A.R. 9-1-16-IV); or (b)when he
carries the ball outside the tackle box (Rule 2-34) before kicking.
5. When a defensive player’s contact against the kicker or holder is caused
by an opponent’s block (legal or illegal), there is no foul for running into
or roughing.
6. A player who makes contact with the kicker or holder after touching the
kick is not charged with running into or roughing the kicker.
7. When a player other than one who blocks a scrimmage kick runs into or
roughs the kicker or holder, it is a foul.
8. When in question whether the foul is running into or roughing, the foul
is roughing.
b. A kicker or holder simulating being roughed or run into by a defensive
player commits an unsportsmanlike act (A.R. 9-1-16-V).
