Only if you get the Blitz result and end up where the ball will land. Then you've got the ball in the opponents half, surrounded by his team :wink:

You can get the ball and pass it back to your team, if its not safe to keep it in the oppositions side.

But I thought the ball only "landed" at the end of the bonus blitz turn?

You're right, Darkson. Under the actual sequence the Kickoff result is solved after scattering the ball but before it lands. This means that the blitz turn takes place while the ball is still traveling to the other side of the pitch.
That's how I see it, anyway.

yep, you´re right. You can run in and build a cage and hopefully catch it when it comes down.
