[Lighthouse]

Fourth and 10 at team R's 25 yardline. Team K's field goal attempt is blocked. The ball does not cross the neutral zone. K1 recovers the ball at team R's 30 yardline, advances and is downed at team R's 12 yardline. The next down will be:

A. First and 10 fo team K from team R's 12 yardline.
B. First and 10 for team R from its own 12 yardline.
C. First and 10 fpr team R from its own 25 yardline.
D. First and 10 for team R from its own 30 yardline.

I will go with C.

Going with A since the ball didn't cross the line of scrimmage AND it was advanced far enough to be a first down. I wonder if they only advanced it to the 16 or 17? ... I'm guessing a turnover on downs.

Any other guesses?

I am going with A myself.

A, hoping that the neutral zone thing means something. Or, maybe the touch of the ball by the defense changes the status of the ball from being kicked back to a regular ball.... and the neutral zone thing doesn't mean anything. I cannot see this ball going to R in any way, though.

[Old School]

D, I'll go with.
