You can't say this and claim to be an expert in all things football at the same time. Every kicker in the NFL can kick it out of the back of the end zone every time they put their foot to the ball. How many times do they do it?

This year, and most years BYU has tried to kick the ball right to the goal line and the corner of the field so that there actually has to be a return and we can contain the runner. I think the average return this season has been to the 18 yard line so we are netting +7 yards over just kicking it into the end zone. Our kickoffs have been exceptional this season. Yes there is some risk, but playing averages is far better than giving in to your fears.

As for getting a soccer player from Brazil with a great leg - fantastic idea. The problem is convincing them that football is a better sport than "football".

In basketball games do you sit in the stands and count to three every time you think someone is camping out in the key?
