The temperature in Tuscaloosa is hovering in the upper 90s. That can only mean one thing -- football season is upon us! Most schools will open in a jamboree of some sort on August 24 (only three weeks away). I can hardly wait.

TideHawk, I hope you are planning on the "You Make the Call" questions again this year. Just to start everyone off, I have one for you:

Red kicks off to White. The ball bounces on the ground and rolls to the White 5 yard line. As a Red player dives for the ball, a White player kicks it through and out of the end zone. What is your ruling?

I'll take a guess: Illegal kick, half the distance to the goal. 1st and 10 at the 2.5 yard line.

Like I said TideHead, you got the correct foul. It is illegal kicking. Because this happened during a loose ball play the penalty, if accepted, would be marked from the previous spot or the 40 yard line and Red would rekick. If Red chose to decline the penalty, the results of the play would stand. It would be a touchback and White would take over on the 20.
