Question
Can the punting team catch a punt in college football?
I know they can in the pros but I think they can't in college.
Scott, hello!
If I interpret your question correctly, the punting team cannot catch their own punt. It would be a foul if they First Touched the ball, before it hit the ground AND before it travelled 10 yards.
Merry Christmas!
Take Care,
