Zebra - End of OU/ISU Game

[Zebra Frog]

Zebra, please see my post just above yours. When does the official blow the whistle in that type of scenario?

Whistle will be blown it neither team makes and attempt to pick up the ball.

They should never touch it and walk away, as touching does not make the ball dead. A good special teams coach will teach them to reach down and pick it up, making it dead. I think this is why Reagor hangs around a rolling kick. He knows if the kicking team touches it and walks away, he can swoop in, pick it up and try and make a few yards knowing nothing bad can really happen. It makes me nervous to see him that close to an untouched kick sometimes. And, if he is blocked into the ball, he isn't deemed to have touched it.

Once every few years you see a punt returner score after the kicking team touches it and walks off thinking it's dead.

sometimes you see it when the entire punt team is patting themselves on the helmets and jogging to the sideline
