Leading by 6, they decide to attempt a field goal. Don't ask how dumb this is...just go with it. They kick, and to no surprise, miss. The ball rolls into the end zone. We pick up the ball and place it on the 20. An assistant coach asks why we put the ball on the 20? That's where we put all kicks that go into the end zone. His response: "That is the dumbest thing I have heard of!"

And the sad thing is the ball would go to the 20 at any level of play (NF, NCAA, NFL).

"Frankly coach, that's the dumbest thing I have ever heard".
