Onside Kick


Jan 12, 2016, 12:20 PM

I had a friend tell me that the ball had to hit the ground before a defender could recover the ball on a onside kick. Can anyone confirm this? If true the refs missed a huge call that could have affected the outcome of the game.

SECTION 4. Opportunity To Catch a Kick

Interference With Opportunity

ARTICLE 1. a. A player of the receiving team within the boundary lines
attempting to catch a kick, and so located that he could have caught a free
kick or a scrimmage kick that is beyond the neutral zone, must be given an
unimpeded opportunity to catch the kick (A.R. 6-3-1-III, A.R. 6-4-1-V, VI and
IX).
b. It is an interference foul if, before the receiver touches the ball, a Team
A player enters the area defined by the width of the receiver’s shoulders
and extending one yard in front of him. When in question it is a foul.(A.R.
6-4-1-X-XIII)
c. This protection ends when the kick touches the ground (Exception:
Free kick, par. f below), when any player of Team B muffs or touches a
scrimmage kick beyond the neutral zone, or when any player of Team
B muffs or touches a free kick in the field of play or in the end zone
(Exception: Rule 6-5-1-b) (A.R. 6-4-1-IV).
d. If interference with a potential receiver is the result of a player being
blocked by an opponent, it is not a foul.
e. It is an interference foul if the kicking team contacts the potential receiver
before, or simultaneous to, his first touching the ball (A.R. 6-4-1-II, III, and
VIII). When in question, it is an interference foul.
f. During a free kick a player of the receiving team in position to receive the
ball has the same kick-catch and fair-catch protection whether the ball is
kicked directly off the tee or is immediately driven to the ground, strikes the
ground once and goes into the air in the manner of the ball kicked directly
off the tee.
g. Contact by Team A involving a targeting foul (Rules 9-1-3 and 9-1-4) or other
personal foul that interferes with the receiver’s opportunity to catch a kick
may be ruled either as interference or as a targeting or personal foul. The
15-yard penalty is enforced at the spot where the dead ball belongs to Team
B or at the spot of the foul, at the option of Team B.

It's not true. It's been hashed out already over and over here.

Not true - we could've simply fair caught the

ball (like coots did 2 yrs ago against us). But you have to be in position to call fair catch. Last night we were no where near in position. Saban outcoached us on that one. I thought bama didn't coach a great game overall, but on that one they caught us sleeping.
