Standard punt play...you punt it out to your opponents 30 yard line, and the punting team gets their first and deflects the ball even further, and the ball comes to rest at the 20 yard line. Where is the ball placed?
The 30 yard line right? The ball is downed where it was touched.
Now take the exact same scenario. The ball is punted to your opponents 5 yard line, and the punting team gets their first with their wild and crazy panic to save the ball from going into the endzone (even when the ball is basically resting at the 2 some guy on the team you bet on will inevitably come flying in and kick it out of the back of the endzone), and the ball is knocked from the 5 yard line and into the endzone. NOW where is the ball placed? The 20.
Am I missing something here?
