What if that happens tonight? Is it legal? You make the call! Perfectly legal. I'll see your blocked punt and raise you two blocked punts, in the same play, by two different punters, with the same blocker ... and a score for the blocking team. Saw this one in real life with LCC and RCHS almost a decade ago ... to the detriment of LCC. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great effort by R Looking back, it definitely was, but at the time I didn't quite "appreciate" the feat as much sitting in the LCC stands. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
