RalphWiggam Barkeep, another Mekong please

So if there is 3 seconds left. And the other team punts…and jr is fair caught with no time in the clock…the receiving team can still kick.

Supposedly if you catch a fair catch you can immediately (read no time required)

No, receiving team catches a fair catch, then can attempt a free kick.

Just to clarify, the Chargers got an untimed play due to the penalty

The fair catch free kick rule only exist in high school and NFL, but not college
