Here are your answers and explanations...
1.
R1 muffs a kick high over his/her head while
standing at R’s 2-yard line. The ball lands in the end zone.
A) Touchback
for R. 1st & 10 from team R’s 15-yard line.
B) Safety
for K. Two points scored by team K, and team R will kickoff to team K
from R’s 10-yard line.
C) The
ball is dead at the 2-yard line. 1st & 10 from team
R’s 2-yard line.
Any kick that is muffed in
flight that touches the ground while the kicked ball is on or behind R’s goal
line becomes dead and is a touchback. This cannot be a safety because the
force that put the ball into R’s end zone was K’s kick. The muff does not
apply a new force to this kicked ball. (6.2.1)
2.
The ball is thrown to receiver A4. The
ball hits A4’s hands, and bounces into the air. After the ball is
touched, B3 deflags A4. A4 then completes the catch one second later.
A) Incomplete
pass
B) Completed
pass. The ball remains live and the play continues until B3 is touched by
any player because B3 deflagged A4 before A4 had possession of the ball.
C) Completed
pass. The ball becomes dead when A4 secures possession & completes
the catch.
As soon as A4 completes the
catch, the ball becomes dead and the down has ended. (4.2.1.d)
3.
The ball is live when B1, realizing his team is
playing one man short, enters the field of play. B1 does not make contact with
a player and does not influence the play.
A) No
problem.
B) B1
is guilty of a dead-ball Illegal substitution foul.
C) B1
is guilty of a live-ball Illegal substitution foul.
D) B1

No substitutes shall enter during a down. Between downs, any number of eligible substitutes may replace players. (3.5.1) Also, no replaced player, substitute, or non-player shall hinder an opponent, touch the ball, influence the play or otherwise participate. (9.6.2)
