Is it a fumble if a punt is blocked?
Yes! A blocked punt is a fumble simply because it can be advanced by which every team recovers said block. This is different then a punt returner who didn't made the catch (basically, doesn't gain possession of the ball). This is considered a "muff" and can be recovered but not advanced by either team.

What is a muff in football?
A 'muff' is generally used with punting and occurs when the player that is catching the punt drops it or 'muffs it' without ever having possession of the ball. There is a distinct difference in the NFL rules between a muff and a fumble. If a punt receiver fumbles a punt, that means he had possession of the ball and then fumbled. The punting team can recover a fumble and advance it as many yards as they can get. If a punt receiver muffs a punt, that means the receiver did not have possession of the ball. The punting team may recover a muff but may not advance the ball. The punting team would gain possession of the ball at the spot of the recovery.
Can a blocked punt be advanced at the high school level?

In college football may either team advance a blocked field goal?

Why can't pass interference be called on a fake punt?
Pass interference CAN be called on a fake punt, however the outside players in the "gunner" position cannot be interfered with. On any given punt play, those players are blocked by up to two players on the punt return team, and as such, any punt play in which the punter tossed it up to one of his gunners would result in an interference call. These players can draw penalties for holding against the punt return team, and interference is NOT allowed against other members of the punt unit.
Why can't pass interference be called on a punt fake?
No because a punt is not a pass. There can, however, be fair catch interference. Whether the receiving player calls for a fair catch or not, the kicking team has to give the receiver an opportunity to field the ball.
In college what happens when a pat is blocked?
The team blocking the pat is allowed to advance the ball and take possession, there is no kick off and the team that blocked the pat, took possession and advanced the ball start a fresh set of downs. If the ball is blocked and travels into the end-zone and the team which blocked the pat is tackled, the kicking team receives one (1) point.
