place kick

Before “long snappers” became a specialized position in football, Mr. Hauss also snapped the ball on punts and place kicks.

His immediate eligibility was initially blocked by his former school, but since getting cleared from the NCAA, the backup quarterback has thrown two passes this season and holds for place kicks.

Kreiter was signed as a free agent last season and was the snapper on punts and place kicks in all 16 games.

Punter Matt Haack, who also holds for place kicks, took a direct snap, rolled to his left and flicked a pass to kicker Jason Sanders for a 1-yard touchdown.

The next two players — one from each team — will place kick from the second point in turn.
