Weird end of game field goal.

I seem to remember some weird way to kick a field goal off the tee at the end of a quarter or half. Anyone know about this?

fair catch a kick off i think. Then you can do it.

It's a free kick. Can't remember the exact rule but you have to be a certain distance away and if you kick it through the uprights it's 3 pts. Saw it once in HS. He just kicks with nobody else in the play. If it's no good and time on the clock, it's a touchback. Strange rule.

I think in high school you can fair catch a punt and it's applicable as well.
High school did it in Miami

An explanation: basically, you have two options when your team makes a fair catch. You can either take possession of the ball on offense, or you can attempt a field goal from the spot where the ball was caught. Not from seven yards behind where the ball was caught, but where the player made the catch. So the teams line up like it's a kickoff, but somebody holds, and the other team tries to return if the kick is short.

It's almost as rare as an LSU TD pass

Never understood why 49ers didn't do this at the end of the superbowl down 3 points? Had to be much more chance of hitting a free kick from midfield or worse than a punt return. Nedney had tied the fg record that season (before turning to shite) and kickers even occasionally drive it through the posts from a kickoff.
