[QUOTE="GTNavyNuke, post: 111754, member: 322"] I think this was the concept too. The ball was actually kicked a little too fast so that our "gunners" couldn't get to the FSU player before the ball did. There are a bunch of different ways to try the on-sides and we have tired them all it seems. Kick hard and straight, kick hard and into the ground to get a big bounce, kick medium depth (UGAg is poorly coached so it worked and was the first time we tried that this year) or kick it slow and neutralize with prejudice the defensive players. Just have to get to the defensive player before the ball does. The last football play my son ever had was an on side kick. He was junior HS and on the kick return team. The on side kick came to his area and he was totally lit up by two other KO team players. The ball was easily recovered since it was normal spacing on the return team, unlike what we saw last night. Overall I think on expected on-sides kick success rate is about 18-25% and it depends a lot on how much of surprise it is. This article has the success rate at 25% in CFB which I think is high. It also has a proposal to replace the KO with a 4th and 15 on your own 30 where you have the choice to punt or go for it. Not a bad idea .......
