Why is college football punting so different than the NFL's?

 

There are different rules for the "ineligible player downfield" penalty. In the NFL, only the players at the side of the formation, known as gunners, are allowed to run toward the punt returner as soon as the ball is snapped. All the people crouching along the line of scrimmage can't go more than a yard forward until the ball is kicked.

Under NCAA rules, the linemen can run toward the punt returner right after the snap. As a result, some of the linemen take advantage of this and run forward after the snap. The players near the punter in the "shield punt" formation can block any defender who managed to get past the offensive line.

So, to answer your question, NFL rules make it so the punting team probably needs to use gunners on the sides of the field, while NCAA rules allow the linemen to do the running.

Darnold sounds like a mentally frail player

I hate him.

 

Not as a person, of course. Just as a potential number 1 overall pick. He is not elite. Nope, nope, nope.

I think Rudolph is still my favorite.

Guys, quit jabbering.... KC has the guy, that Mahomes guy, he's gonna take em to the promise land.... And nothing can compare!

I went back and watched Mahomes college tape, still don't like him. Looks better then Allen though.

The game is at Tennessee.

HAHAHAHA I read our own schedule wrong. Wow I need a nap already. Still, I think Georgia should win this game. No reason to be outplayed by an inferior opponent.

Hopefully he ends up as useful for the J-E-S-T JEST JEST JEST as their last USC QB was. Sanchez truy was the "sanchise" player for them.

Sanchez, Kessler, Barkley, Mustain, Corp, JD Booty, Leinart...USC is a QB factory.

I had forgotten that Mustain transferred there.  Not a smart decision.
