I thought punt returns were illegal, but apparently the Wildcats have a rules loophole:
Northwestern ranks third nationally in punt returns this season averaging 18.33 yards per return ... The Wildcats have racked up 220 punt return yards through seven games which is the fifth most in all of college football ... Against Indiana State (9/11), Brandon Joseph and Raymond Niro III combined for 166 punt return yards – the most in program history. Joseph finished with 111 return yards, the sixth most in a game in Northwestern history, and the first NU punt returner to go over 100 yards in a game since Venric Mark had 134 return yards against Syracuse in 2012 ... Joseph’s 65-yard return was the longest by a Wildcat since Venric Mark’s 75-yard return against Penn State in 2012.
