Roughing the punter

So, is the 5-yard version not called anymore?

That's the only explanation for what I can only describe as just about everything *except* roughing. Jean-Baptiste made a bonehead play for even allowing the possibility for this to be called, but he clearly pulled up and tried to avoid contact.... I thought it was more clumsy than malicious.

 
It is. That was roughing because SJB crammed his kicking leg back into him while he was in his kicking motion

 
I believe the distinction between the calls depends on if you hit either his kicking or planting leg or not?

Anyways, it doesn't matter, does it? Isn't running into still an automatic 1st?

 
Always 'take' the ball off the punters foot. Never ever dive for it. Ever. We practiced ths over and over in college. If you can't 'take' the ball off his foot.... Pull up completely

 
Well all I can say for lil bro is great job in miami were taught to lay da wood sovi say the punter got lucky for that bullsh*** call but the coaching staff didn't even give him the chance too make it up too y'all husker fans but rather sit him out the whole game but it's cool he learned his lesson u know thats bo n the start husker football way
