A few years ago, my college roommate and I got into a discussion about who would win in a game on 11 of me vs. 11 of him.

I played offensive line in high school, I weigh about 270, and I am very slow.

He is a crosscountry runner (though he could outrun me at any distance) who weighs about 130.

I ultimatly had to concede that he would win, because while I think I could score every time I had the ball (I'd run it up the middle every time), he could also score every time (by doing anything but running it up the middle). When we reached this point in the conversion, he stated that he would attempt an onsides kick on every kickoff, and I'm sure he would be more sucessful than me (at onsides kicks).

I was reminded of this a few weeks ago when Tennessee atempted 3 onsides kicks against Indy. I think this is a good idea against a team that is likely to score regardless of their field position.
