I remember seeing a story on ESPN about it. Might have been high school. The guy just went all in on analytics. If I remember, the team was pretty successful. Triple option teams go for it on fourth and short a lot. It’s near impossible to keep one of those teams from getting one yard.

I’m actually more on the “go for every fourth down” train. Easier said than done though

There's certain analytics saying that is the best option for every kickoff. The percentage of onside kicks that get recovered by the kicking team outweighs the negative field position aspect. Kind of like how teams should always go for it on fourth and three or less. Nobody wants to be that guy...

Usually because the opposing team's returner moves under the ball to return it. It's not like he can't move while the ball is in the air. The ball is usually kicked between the hashmarks to not risk it going out of bounds.
