Blocked Punt for A First Down
We've discussed it on here, and I've discussed it in association meetings. I've never seen it in a game, nor have any with which I've officiated. Yet it happened in the Alamo bowl.
https://youtu.be/IY50kktHU6c Great heads up from the players. And excellent explanation by the WH. How many fans, coaches, and players would know that could be done? |
It really does not matter how many know, the fact they are giving a first down. The rule has been around for some time. ;)

I see your "blocked punt for a first down", and I raise you a "Missed/blocked field goal for a game-winning touchdown in a playoff game"

About the only ones who'd get it wrong would've been those who'd seen a game under Fed rules some years ago where the ball was dead on recovery by K. |
Had this in my first year in a JV game. Home team had punt blocked and a lineman pick it up and ran for a first down. Visiting HC asked for clarification and the WH told him why and he understood. That was in 1999 and have not seen it since.
