[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 493289, member: 265"] Punting [I]itself[/I] is questionable in many circumstances. There's been statistical analysis done on this (somewhere and I'm not going to try to find it) and it finds that, unless you are deep in your own territory, you are probably better off going for a first on 4th down. Coach is one of the few head coaches out there–Rick Leach is another–who appears to be paying attention to this. There are, of course, a ton of caveats; Tech going for it on 4th at our 40 against Clemson or in a driving rain storm or <your favorite catastrophe here>, doesn't make as much sense. In general, however, going for it on 4th and 10 or less makes good sense. This has come back to bite us more often than I'd like, largely because we have had a place kicking problem recently. This appears to be abating. [/QUOTE]
