It depends. Some solitaire players simply adapt the rules laid down by Miggle. Others work on a simulated punt —line the teams up in formation, with the return man already pre-positioned and presumed to automatically receive, turn on the board for five seconds or so to simulate hang-time, and give the defence a chance to block the punt (i.e. when a defender touches the base of the punter before the kick), then do a return or declare a free kick with the designated receiver. Other players simply mark off 40-45 yards from the punter's position on field —if it goes through the endzone, it's an automatic touchback; otherwise, it's spotted at the end of that distance for no return. And others do a no punting game. There are about as many ways to do punts in solitaire as there are in league MF/EF.
