Note:
What makes this a no score. Is K6 just down because his knee is on the ground when trying to throw?

B. A, 3/6, A-40. Penalties offset
C. A, 1/10, A-34. Both penalties are assessed
D. A, 4/12, A-34. Both penalties are assessed
Note:
Likely that there are two officials making these calls - discuss then have ONE official go to the R to report both fouls and to communicate live ball dead ball
Live ball and dead ball do not offset, and 5.1.2 states that on first, second, or third down a new series of downs shall be awarded only after considering the effect of any act during the down other than nonplayer or unsportsmanlike conduct fouls by A, and any dead-ball foul by B. Since the facemask penalty would give A the first down, A is awarded a new series of downs but is backed up 15 yards for the unsportsmanlike penalty. Chains are reset after the administration of all penalties.
A, 3/10, B-20. Runner is running around the right end when he is hit and fumbles at the B-24. A defensive player recovers the ball at the B-25 and attempts a backward pass to a teammate. A Team A player intercepts the pass and is tackled at the B-28.
A. A, 1/10, B-28. Clock starts on the ready
B. A, 1/10, B-28. Clock starts on the snap
C. A, 3/18, B-28. Clock starts on the ready
D. A, 3/18, B-28. Clock starts on the snap
Note:
Since A is the next to put the ball in play it starts on the ready. Only a new series for B is a start on snap.
New series because there was a change of possession once B recovered the ball, and then another change of possession when A intercepted the ball back. Since B was not awarded a new series the ball starts on the ready vs. the snap.

Note:
Keys - kick goes beyond NZ so muff by R matters.

Note:
I get the illegal kicking (c), but not R, 1/10, K-18. I don't understand how this can be an option.
R can decline penalty and take the result of the play which is a turnover on downs.
When a scrimmage kick is out of bounds between the goal lines, the ball is awarded to R. Enforcement of illegal kicking.

Not sure what this question is asking?
The right to take the ball at the spot of first touching does not apply if R touches the kick and thereafter fouls.
K, Free kick, K-40. In an onside kick attempt, the kicker kicks the ball directly into the ground. The ball immediately rebounds high into the air. A receiver is in a position to catch the ball at the R-47, but a kicker steps in front of the receiver and catches the ball and is down at that spot.
