In our league a few seasons ago, playing from behind, the HC of the team I was coaching on chose to punt from well inside the other team's territory. He knew the other team would goof up. We allow no rush, and the kick is dead when it comes into possession -- in that case, when the opposing player fielded it on their 5 yard line. 2 plays later they gave up a safety, & I never doubted our HC's play calling ability again.
