Tuesday Morning Practice

By Bruce Wood

HANOVER -- The story in the New York Times about moving NCAA kickoffs back five yards to the 30 this year posited that more injuries may result. It brought up the possibility that scoring will increase as a result of better field position. And it wondered about strategy changes at kickoff and in the style of kicks.

Buddy Teevens hadn’t seen the story before the first of two scheduled practices kicked off (pun intended) Tuesday morning. But after watching his four kickers split 12 kickoffs evenly in the first regular kickoff practice of the preseason, the Dartmouth coach addressed some of the ideas brought up in the Times’ piece.

To read what he had to say, check out the 1,265-word Green Alert premium story about Tuesday morning's practice. Check back tonight for a complete report on the afternoon session.
