Then again, most teams don't have the Fun 'N' Gun. Consider that UF converted only 41 percent of its third downs. Now, Spurrier may be inclined more than ever to go for it on fourth downs. By the end of the season, ESPN will be running commercials featuring Art Donovan reminiscing about when the field goal was respected. And really, let's be honest, folks.
Field goals are boring.
The only major detraction of the wonderful game of football is that big, tough guys beat the crap out of each other only to have the game decided by a soccer player in a helmet and pads. Just look at the great things that happened for the Gators last year when they ixnayed the kicking game. There will be the same compelling reasons to go for it often on fourth down again this year, and more the defense will be better than ever. We hardly knew ya. Chances are, we're hardly gonna miss ya.
