What is the penalty in this play?
I believe the kiss was the penalty. Fortunately for him, the TD still stood.

However, the touchdown stood and the penalty was assessed on the kickoff. According to the NCAA rule book, live-ball penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct are penalized “15 yards from [the] succeeding spot." Since the spot of the ball after the play was for the kickoff, it pushed the kick back instead of affecting the TD play.
I love some confidence and a little trash talking but you need to be more disciplined than that. Just unnecessary and stupid. Sounds like he made too many of these type of mistakes in college. Better clean it up quick.

I completely get your point about discipline, but Jesus Christ, that was a penalty? The need to officiate every possible action in the sport is so draining. Also, I can't keep straight what is and isn't a penalty anymore between NCAA and NFL.
