field goal rules

I disagree. NCAA rules state that anyone eligible to touch a pass can bat it, but no other loose ball may be batted forward in the field of play or in any direction in the endzone. If a player were to bat the kick to prevent it from going over the goal post he would be batting in the endzone there fore illegal (a kick in the air is a loose ball). If the player could catch the ball then it would be legal since he is simply catching a scrimmage kick.
