    Default Kickoffs

    Remember the play where the KR caught the ball with one foot out of bounds?

    NDSU like to KO to the sidelines. Why don't more teams tell their KR to try to field the ball with one foot out of bounds?

    Not just catch with one fut out but literally on sideline kicks step on the sideline stretch out and touch the ball like the link below.

    Because some teams screw it up?

    What made me think of this was re-watching the UND game. What a horror show of a football team, btw. They had at least two chances to get the ball at the 35 via this loophole.

    Also, cheese and rice, that game might have been the low point for Timmerman. If they replaced Timmerman's voice with the sound of a monkey screeching, it would have been infinitely easier on the ears.

    Also - the more zaftig coach in the image below is apparently the Coach In Charge of Walking In Front of the Team To Show Them Where the Line of Scrimmage Is.
