So, due to the Nebraska game, I was just thinking, there has to be better or more inventive ways to try an onside kick.
so a couple ideas that I got to thinking about and I want to hear your guys thoughts.
Plan A - this will probably only ever work 1 time, but you line up for the normal onside kick from the 35 yd line. Here's a pretty typical lineup:
Now, would it be possible to instead of kicking it 10 yds and hoping the other team can't corral it, you kick it about 35 yards so it will stop around the opponents 30 yd line. This basically makes it a foot race to the ball? so the kicker just kicks it straight down the middle and your guys have a 5yd run to get up to speed and could then cover 35 yds in what like 3.3 seconds, while the other team guys will need to go 25 yds from a standing position to get to the ball (not to mention their suprise that you kicked it past them). In the mass sprint, you hope the other team accidentally misses falling on it or accidentally bats it or you can just out right sprint faster than the other team.
does that make sense?
I'm assuming the deep guy is back at the goal line, if he up on the 10, then you would need to adjust the depth you kick it to.
