According to NFHS rules....any kick that crosses the goal line becomes a touchback...kickoffs, punts...AND missed field goals. This does not say which state this happened in...but my understanding is that all states except Texas and Massachusetts (they go by NCAA Rules) adhere to this rule. Therefore, the announcers state that it is in endzone....but if you look closely at film it would appear that he catches it in the playing field and starts to advance....hence it is a live run and a fumble when he spikes the ball. Feel sorry for the kid....although NFL scouts might be impressed with the "spike"!:lmao:
