Sure can

Wanna say that Spurrier used to do this on 3rd down while at Florida when he would get frustrated with his QBs.

ETA: From one of the comments on the video.
quote:

By the way, Cunningham was a two-time All-American punter(with a career average of 45.6 yards per kick - still a UNLV record) and is also the UNLV all-time passing leader with over 8,000 yars and 59 TD's in 3 seasons. Oh, and how 'bout Sammy Baugh? He? was an All-Pro QB, punter, and defensive back at the same time for multiple seasons. He's still the #2 punter of all time behind only Ray Guy, and he is widely considered one of the greatest players in the history of football.

That's a great link but it appears Cunningham was in a punt formarion and the defense was ready for it.

I'm talking about lining up in shotgun and the defense thinks your going for it and lines up in a 5-2 formation and the ball just goes way over anybody who is ready for it.

I can remember Spurrier doing this against Arkansas while still with Gators. The Gators got sacked and had a personal foul. 3rd and damn near 30, he punted it.
