4th and 12 ? That's horses**t IMO. Maybe there is a stat that shows it's as likely as an onside but that seems so much easier.
This will happen in the NFL for sure. Part of the plan to eliminate the kicking game and have as many points as possible. Punting will soon be a thing of the past unless deep in your own territory. I know the younger fans seem to love all this but I really, really dislike it.
