How do you kick an onside kick?

All players must be on their own half of the field.

The ball is placed on the center mark.

All players on the non-kicking team must be at least 10 yards from the ball.

The ball may be kicked once the whistle is blown.

The first kick must have a forward component to it.

The kicker may not touch it a second time until another player has touched it.

The players on the non-kicking team may close the gap after the first kick, not on the whistle.

Is it team A's ball or is it turned over on downs if team A punts the ball team B returns it then fumbles and team A recovers it at the original line of scrimmage?

Not 100% on this but once team "B" receives a punted ball past the original line of scrimmage the ball has changed possesion. Team "B" then fumbles & team "A" recovers I would think team "A" would retain posession with a new set of downs.

AnswerIt is team A's ball on a new set of downs

Any time a change of possession occurs, a new set of downs is triggered. So Team A gets the ball back, 1st down. The same can occur if team A fumbles the ball, team B recovers it, advances it but fumbles it, then team A recovers it. Team A starts a new possession with 1st down.

What will happen if all clocks stopped?

Is it a touchdown if the ball breaks the plane of the goal line on the out of bounds side when a player is diving?

The ball has to be in the touchdown zone. If it is above the zone it is still a touchdown.

Take Troy Polamalu's touchdown on Dec,12,2010.

He dived, broke the plane of the goal line but he was holding the football above the zone so it counts as a touchdown. In some cases the ref might not count it.

What is the perimter of a field that is 120 yards long and 53 yards wide and each end zone is 10 yards deep and 53 yards wide?

This question is asking you to find the hypotenuse of a traingle. The hypotenuse is the diagonal of a traingle, and the longest side.

The formula for this is a2 + b2 = c2 where c is the hypotenuse, and a and b are the other two sides.

So for this equation, you can find the diagonal by placing the numbers you have been given into the equation.

102 + 532 = c2

100 + 2809 = c2

2909 = c2

√2909 = c

c = 53.94

When punting and the ball hits the ground prior to being kicked can the defensive team hit the punter?

No, this would be considered a roughing the punter penalty and the punting team would be awarded a 15 yard penalty and a first down.

In this case, the referee will not call the penalty.

The basics of football is to score more points than your opponent. The way to do this is by either running the football into the end zone which gives you six points, or by throwing the football to another teammate and if he/she catches it, than that is a touchdown which also gives you six points. After the touchdown, the team that scored has a chance to either attempt a field goal (kicking the football through the field goal) which is 1 point or go for 2 points by running a normal offensive play, you may not kick the ball in order to get the 2 point conversion. Both offense and defense must play 11 players on the field at once.
