Better yet, can you do it if the team elects to punt the ball.........a punt onside kick.
I recall taking a coaching of football class at Iowa(Bobby and Mike Stoops were classmates) and posing your question, as well as the one I asked above, and nobody in the entire room knew the answer for sure, including the two Iowa assistant coaches at the time that were teaching the class.

Yeah, I believe most of the Hawkeye fans would like to see him gone. ISU fans think he's a great off. coordinator. :nohead: Actually, he was still the off. coordinator in 2002 when Iowa had talent and everything was fine. Iowa truly lacks talent now and the OC always gets crucified, no matter where. There is nothing you can second guess more than play calling. Ferentz is crazy to stay at Iowa if he really had a chance to go to Michigan but I personally don't think he was ever asked. Maybe he will be now.
Still don't know for sure whether or not this is allowed. It came up in the Kansas-Missou game last week when Kansas took a safety down 6 late in the game and the safety made it an 8 pt game. Kansas did the free kick back to Missou but there was still time left on the clock. Was wondering why they did not onside it unless its against the rules?
I was wondering the same thing. At first I though it was a brilliant move by Mangino. It was still a longshot, but they had a much better chance of recovering an onside kick, scoring and making the two than going 98 yards. I was surprised neither Musberger or Herbstreit mentioned it either. I know you can do it in the NFL, and I always thought you could in college, too, but after seeing that game, I'm not so sure.
Maybe Mangino just had his mind on that big post-game roast beef sandwich.
