This happened Friday night:
B goes for onside kick. However the kicker strikes the ball with the side of his foot and it goes spinning behind the B40 yd line. A2 alertly scoops up the ball and is finally tackled at B8. However a flag was thrown for A being offside. The White Hat said the ball had to go 5 yds before A could touch it.
Correct or incorrect ruling???
