Iowa using an experimantal mechanic....
This year in Iowa we are experimenting with a new mechanic for the positioning of officials on all field goal attempts and PATs.
In the past the R would face the holder and the LJ would always go under the upright.
This year the R still faces the holder but the wing official who is also on this side now goes under the upright with the BJ. This protects the R from a fake that in years past may go to the vacated side of the LJ. Now the R can take the side the wing has vacated and the opposite wing is already there.
We have found this very helpful and from the sounds of things it will be instuted nationally very soon if not next year.
