    Don't show this to Jim "The Punt is our Best Weapon" Tressel...he'd have an absolute coronary!

    Still, it's kinda interesting to ponder over.

    Go For It!

    In watching last nights Auburn/So.Car game Spurrier eschewed the punt several times, one time with about 4 minutes left in the game. I have seen numerous coaches with 4 minutes left punt and never get the ball back.

    Charlie is the opposite of Tressel, he will go for it a lot more than most coaches.

    I think it would be interesting to see a game where punting was not allowed.
