If you're fortunate enough to block a punt, the ball usually deflects wildly and there's a mad scramble to prevent the receiving team from recovering the ball and advancing it further.
There
was no mad scramble when Paul Senn blocked a punt in the first quarter
against Indiana on Saturday. Why? He simply caught it off the foot of
Indiana punter Erich Toth and ran it in for a touchdown.Seriously.
It was an incredible play. Senn escaped the first line of Indiana
blocking and had a free run at Toth. He was so close that Toth ended up
basically kicking it into Senn's stomach. Senn sucked it up like a
vacuum cleaner and was off for a 56-yard touchdown.
Punt
block of the year? Definitely. The only way to top Senn's play is if a
player was able to snatch the ball from a punter's drop. Get on it, NCAA
special teamers.
