MexSoxFan#1 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Maybe the Bears should get that kid who does their onside kicks, Gould is atrocious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted November 14, 2013 Author Share Posted November 14, 2013 It's really a fascinating strategy. I'd love to see it tried at a D1 or pro level, but I can't imagine anyone having the balls to do it. It would have to be a D1 team that is always bad, like an Akron or something.

I'm not sure where they got their percentages for that piece. It's definitely different for HS, college, and pro. You can make a very easy argument that you should never punt if you are beyond your own 40 yard line, but there are clearly plenty of situations in college and the NFL where punting is better than going for it. I think the big difference in high school is that the amount of field position gained on a punt is much less than in higher levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well this is a college team, not HS, but yes, I had thought about that too. However, a punt can always result in a touchdown for the receiving team, so it's not just field position.

I stopped reading the wiki page after I saw "independent college", and didn't see the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
