For those wondering why no touchbacks on kickoffs...

Well, there it is. Taysom won't make it in the NFL cause the balls are too big

Schultz is back

NFL footballs are typically smaller than NCAA footballs (narrower and pointier).

That seems different from my experience:

I think that probably has more to do with the general shape than the size though

BM already said we're not trying for touchbacks.

I do not believe this

Which is preferrable to defend.....a team that has to go 75 yards to score a TD

ByuMba90

This is the philosophy that the NFL uses

You must have been at BYU for a long time

Has there ever been a controversy over doctoring footballs? I found this link...

Using new footballs are like kicking a brick... they need to be broken in!

Um, check the opponents' average starting field position after kickoffs.

StalwartBraveTrue

I am with you. The type of ball the kicker uses has no bearing on the O b/c

In the Houston game no touchbacks was a large benefit. Their return game=no good

Wow. Between the Smaller balls and Boney Fuller, I am putting myself

Ty10s_WinGames

You forgot about Juergens carressing the ball. Should never be in the samebreath

CougarBuckeye-BYUI

That's such a weird rule to me, that the ball can be different for each team

I feel like I'm the only person who pays attention to Bronco's interviews.

A lot of folks hear what Bronco is saying...

however....is bronco making lemonade out of lemons? i'd like one time to see

watching pregame warm ups at Texas and they can put it in the end zone

cypresstx

9/17/14 9:38am

well if that's true, and if we face a team with a big-time returner who is

johnnycarson

9/17/14 9:43am

Demarcus Ayers from Houston returned on us last year

cypresstx

9/17/14 9:47am

We faced that threat against Texas and their threat did nothing but lose a fumbl

9/17/14 9:55am

Bronco had the same philosophy with Justin Sorenson

truecoug1

9/17/14 9:38am

I do not believe this. The kickers are not getting the height on the ball

Iron Coug

9/17/14 9:57am

IF this is true, why can't the team simply have a dedicated kicking ball that is

Iron Coug

They can and do! someone is trolling or was misinformed on purpose...

ScottE

He's getting a LOT of height on the kickoffs, allowing for much better coverage

byu bcs buster

9/17/14 10:06am

No he's not. Time the kicks. A Lot of height in college is 4.5 seconds plus.

Iron Coug

9/17/14 10:08am

Ok, well I guess Bronco is a liar and you know more than him.

truecoug1

9/17/14 10:17am

Maybe. Or it could be that the kickoffs are not getting a lot of air time

Iron Coug

9/17/14 10:29am

Hang time has nothing to do with my point that Bronco purposely avoids TBs

truecoug1

9/17/14 10:33am

I responded to BYU BCS Buster's faulty statement that "he's getting a lot of

Iron Coug

9/17/14 10:41am

Go watch the kickers warm up and then tell me if they can or can't.

9/17/14 10:45am

How much more flight time is there for ball that travels additional 10-15 yds?

ByuMba90

9/17/14 1:07pm

Nobody gets 4.5 hangtime on kickoffs. Especially since they went to the 1 inch

Alcova

9/17/14 1:10pm

Exactly my point. This clown doesn't know what he's talking about

truecoug1

9/17/14 1:47pm

4.5 seconds on kickoffs? I think you mean punts.

byu bcs buster

9/17/14 1:37pm

Except you can use a different ball for kick offs than your QB wants to use

CarolinaCoug

9/17/14 11:14am

Correct. Kickers use different balls then the O.

We just need Greb Wrubel to quit talking about touchbacks

PolarisPrime

Personally I think touchbacks are the right move at certain phases of the game.
