If the "blocker" had been of the offensive side of the LOS, it would be good. He's not. It's not good.

In the words of Lee Corso ... "Not so fast my friend" ... Better check HFHS 4-2-2d(2)
. . . The ball becomes dead and the down is ended when any legal free kick or scrimmage kick which is a scoring attempt, while in flight touches a K player in R’s end zone, or after breaking the plane of R’s goal line has apparently failed.
Exception: If a scoring attempt kick touches an upright, crossbar, a game official or
R player in the end zone and caroms through the goal, the touching is ignored and the attempt is successful.
Sorry bisonlj ... you beat me to the post.
