I am a former futbol official so forgive me for asking a stupid question:

A number of years ago I was told that only under NFHS and NFL rules: If the Receiving team makes a fair catch of a punt, it could take a free kick (line up like a kick off to start the game) from the spot where the fair catch was made and either a) punt the ball, or b) kick the ball, that was held by another player, like for a field goal, and if in (b) the kick goes through the uprights it is three points for the kicking team.

Please remember this was many many years ago. So if one of the bald old geezers (I am a BOG on the Basketball Forum) of the Football Forum could give a history lesson, I would appreciate it very much. Thanks.

MTD, Sr.
