In a standard or normal auto at training weights, in normal DA with an appropriate touch down surface, there should be no reason to run out of pedal authority during touch down. That is, you should generally still have some authority (pedal remaining) until you have stopped. During the run on phase, cyclic and collective should be frozen, with the cyclic in a central position appropriate to touch down attitude (generally level). Direction of attention should be on the far distance (the horizon) to allow the aircraft to track straight (maintain heading).

Yaw control emergencies on the other hand may require some cyclic steering. But that’s not what was asked.
