Topic: Touchback


In the News (Fri 25 Dec 09)

  
  Touchback - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In American football, a touchback is a play which occurs when the ball crosses into or through the end zone not in control of the team which put it into play.
Also, a touchback results when a ball carrier fumbles the ball within the field of play and the ball is either not recovered prior to crossing the end line and being out of play or is recovered in the defender's end zone by the defensive team.
In arena football, and other indoor football games, a touchback results in the team awarded the touchback receiving the football at its own five-yard line; this can result from any of the above events except for punting, which is not a part of arena football.

 The Official Forum - Touchback?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
As a punt rolls towards R's end zone inside the one yard line, K2 "grabs" the ball, and "goes into the end zone".
My answer was that K2 has to have posession, ie: control and a foot down inside the goal line or it's a touchback.
Posted by Rick KY on May 24th, 2001 03:30 PM Remember that any kick which enters R's endzone is a touchback in NF, if it is not a successful scoring attempt.

Even when they might have expected a touchback from a Gary Marshall punt, quick Mark Lindsey stopped the ball at the Redditch one to pin the visitors' next drive back against their own endzone.
The second quarter looked better for Redditch when Gateshead QB Lee Fraser was intercepted by Adrian Bishop, who immediately capitalized by catching a 23 yard pass from Stuart Innes.
The ball was then punted back and forth until a broken play allowed the Olympians to score from a 45 yard pass.
