As Sports Illustrated explained in a recent story, Kevin Kelley,
coach of the Pulaski Academy football team in Little Rock, Ark.,
has called for only a single punt in the past two years. Like a
seasoned gambler, Kelley has figured out that punting on fourth
and long near your own end zone decreases the odds of the other
team's scoring by only a relatively slim amount. So going for it
will pay off in the long run: Pulaski won a state championship last
year and is in the hunt this year too
