2025 Media Rules Videos

No comments from last week. I guess people are getting bored with these. For those still watching, here is this week's version. Some good rules examples here.

Fair catch one was outstanding; I knew right away that play would be dead, but not that the ball would be at the fair catch spot. Excellent stuff. Always seem to pick up something when I watch these.

Saw a play I had never seen before yesterday at the end of the Illinois State/North Alabama game. The Redbirds were attempting a game winning field goal at the end of regulation, attempting the kick on 2nd down. The FG was blocked and recovered by Illinois State at their own 41, and the ref announced it was still ISUr ball because the attempt came on 2nd down. I assumed since they attempted a kick that would've been the end of the possession and it would've been UNA's ball regardless of who recovered the fumble, or is it something where that's the case only if the kick crosses the LOS?

Also, I do enjoy these videos and hope you keep them coming!

Depends if it crosses the neutral zone; if it does, rules are a lot like a punt. Otherwise, more like a fumble in this case. Pretty darn rare for the kicking team to recover those and if they do, it was 4th down so you don't think about it.
