15 yard Penalty
It is not legal to mark or request a specific ball for any situation.

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

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

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

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

This is the philosophy that the NFL uses

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.

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

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

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...

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

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

Bronco had the same philosophy with Justin Sorenson

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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