Purpose
The purpose of a quick kick is the same as that for all punting, but with additional hope of:
- preventing a runback (return) of the ball by the opponents,
- additional distance by the ball's bouncing or rolling instead of being fielded by an opponent, and
- (where legal) recovery and retained possession of the ball by the kicking team.

Famous quotes containing the word purpose:
“Man, her last work, who seemed so fair,
Such splendid purpose in his eyes,
Who rolled the psalm to wintry skies,
Who built him fanes of fruitless prayer,
Who trusted God was love indeed
And love Creation’s final law—
Though Nature, red in tooth and claw
With ravine, shrieked against his creed—”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
