The No-Punt Offense
As Sports Illustrated explained in a recent story, Kevin Kelley,
coach of the Pulaski Academy football team in Little Rock,
Ark., has called for only a single punt in the past two years.
Like a seasoned gambler, Kelley has figured out that punting
on fourth and long near your own end zone decreases the odds
of the other team's scoring by only a relatively slim amount.
So going for it will pay off in the long run: Pulaski won
a state championship last year and is in the hunt this year
too
