So why doesn’t the punt returner just bat every punt out of the back of the endzone?

It should almost be impossible to pin a team deep.

Illinois channeling their inner Bengals offense.

That should’ve been OPI

He didn’t explain it at all. Just a word salad.

LOL he was like a spider monkey attacking the QB.

Yeah, wouldn't want to review that one or anything

Massive hold by the OL ignored. Just like the OPI.

We left this within the margin of ref ball.

If I trusted our returners to do that properly, I'd want Toub to coach that

Because it was never possessed by the receiving team. It's the same as a punted ball that isn't muffed.

I agree that there shouldn't be a benefit to the muffing team, but it was called correctly by the rules.

:facepalm:

This is why you don't play dumb all game on offense, one drive and we can lose.

Ugh

Apparently when the ball is rolling to a stop at the 1, the returner should just run in and knock it out of the back of the endzone.

I think if you try to do that intentionally it would be a safety.

if you're inside the 20 just knock it hard backwards instead of catching it.
