was the safety legit?

on the g tech botched snap / punt...
so, just wondering
the punter actually did kick the ball (while being dragged down or falling down..)
the ball is a line drive that hits a clemson player
at that point, isn't it a live football?
ball ends up getting knocked thru the end zone
how come this wasn't a touch back? (and subsequently tech football)
not complaining, just wondering

It would have to land I the other end zone to be a touchback. Plus the punt never passed the original line of scrimmage so it remained a live ball(wouldn't be downed if it hit a defensive player)

I thought the same thing at first but, after watching the replay, when the ball was punted it hit a Clemson player that was already past the line of scrimmage. That makes it a blocked punt. If he had not past the line of scrimmage and was hit by the ball it would have been a fumble.

GT had the ball. It went out of the back of their end zone. That's a safety.

Shouldve been a block. I don't know the details of the rule but

I assume if the punt is touched behind the line of scrimmage its a block.

it was in essence a blocked punt

forget all the bad snaps and running around -- punter punted it, our guy blocked it (just from 10 yards away), it went out of the end zone. Safety.
