This loophole made 75-yard field goal attempts safer than punting
Are you the sort of person that gets nervous whenever your team punts? Well, let me tell you about a safer route. If you've got a kicker who can at least reach the end zone from 80-yards out, let them blast it! Field goal attempts from 70, 75, 80-yards could basically be just a safer punt that might even get you three points! One super important caveat, this would need to take place before 1978. Should've led with that. Might be a deal-breaker...
For a while, college football coaches were letting their kickers try absolutely absurd field goals because even if they missed, it usually forced their opponent to take over from the 20. It was awesome. This rule led to guys trying from 75-plus yards out, and sometimes they'd even go in. This is the story of why that was the case and how it all got spoiled by an angry coach.
