A walk-on BYU player did the same against SDSU in 2006. Andrew Stacey.

San Diego State started the game with a trick play by opening with an onside kick. The gamble did not pay off for the Aztecs, as BYU senior Andrew Stacey made a heads up play by signaling for a fair catch and was subsequently hit by an Aztec defender. The ensuing penalty placed BYU on San Diego State's 43-yard line to begin its opening drive.

If the receiving team signals a fair catch it nullifies the kicking team's recovery of an onside kick?

It works until it touches the ground-when it pops up like that you can faircatch

No. Once it hits the ground after the kicker kicks it, you cannot

No he didn't

Yes he did. Look at the 24 second mark. He didn’t squib the ball. He put it

Looks like it bounced first to me. Hard to tell.

That's what I said. Probably wasn't clear. We were saying the same thing.

Got it, I read it a couple times and saw it both ways lol.

Listen to what the announcer says about the rule now allowing for a fair catch

Here's some discussion about it

Looks like the kicker did a pooch kick which can be signaled for a fair

I think that ball bounced.

Apr 17, 8:42am

Look at 24 second mark in video. It didn’t bounce. Kicked chipped it up.

ChiCityCoug

Apr 17, 8:43am

That's what I looked at. I still think it bounced.

Apr 17, 8:46am

I think it bounced too. Hard to tell exactly.

RGGeemer

Looks like he kicked the bottom of the ball, but the ball moves like it bounced.

Apr 17, 8:50am

Well at least we can agree on the rule. If it bounced it’s live, if not it is

ChiCityCoug

I believe that's right. Because it's no longer a 'catch' once it's bounced.

RGGeemer

I STAND CORRECTED. The announcer is right, you and I are wrong.

Wow interesting. So the argument of whether it bounced or not is actually

ChiCityCoug

According to the announcer, a recent rule change allows for a fair catch even

Tricky

Apr 17, 8:52am

Hmm I was not aware of that. I’ll have to check it out. To me the ball looked

that's why onside kicks are kicked into the ground

That was on OkSt for not knowing the rules, or perhaps hoping that TT wouldn't
