Actually was done by several teams back in the late 60s and early 70s. Our coach used it when he wanted to pin the other team in the coffin corner....he thought the place kicker was more consistent in getting the ball between the 15 and goal line than our punter.
This was division III. I don't know if any division I teams used it.
Sure made the back judge scramble though
