Johns Hopkins scores a Fair Catch Kick to win the game

D3 Johns Hopkins over Muhlenberg. Unless I missed another, I think this is the first successful one?

Muhlenberg would seem to dispute the success of the kick. But there was an official looking right up the upright.  ^TD

I think the uprights should have a bar going across the top, so you have to "kick through" the square. Would eliminate the judgement calls like this, and make it more entertaining, since you'd have to lower the angle of trajectory on kicks to make it through, making it more likely to be blocked.

Will never happen, but would be a fun addition to the rules.

While we have  z^ z^ on each post looking up, we would need one some 30' up to judge if the kick was under the way upright.  :o

Add another 10’ to the uprights. It could be done. Look a bit weird, I suppose. But it could happen. (I could design it.)

Take dammitbobby’s idea and improve on it. Once you have the box created on the uprights, stretch netting from all 4 sides. If it hits net, it’s good.
