Kiffin Was Correct
Calls "On-Side
By Elson Armstrong, Jr.
It had been two days
since his ' infamous on
side kick decision had set
football fans all across
North Carolina buzzing.
As Monte Kiffin, head
football coach at N.C.
State, walked into the
Wolfpack room for his
Monday press con
ference in Raleigh, one
could see it all over his
face.
He had heard the
question perhaps hun
dreds of times by now
and he would .un
doubtedly hear it again:
"Why, with State
leading 10-0, would he
start , the second half
against UNC with an on
side kick?"
To backtrack, this
reporter, along with
many of the over 56,000
fans at Carter Stadium
last Saturday, thought
that Kiffin had done
UNC a great favor when

he opened with this at
tempted trick play. After
all, didn't Carolina
recover and immediately
score, which gave them
new life in a game that
they had been
thoroughly outplayed in
the first half?
While many State fans
groaned and Carolina
partisans howled, it
seemed like Kiffin had
definitely blown it.
After hearing his
reasons and listening to
the opinions of Dick
Crum of UNC and Red
Wilson of Duke, we see
now that Kiffin made the
correct call. It just didn't
work.
Kiffin's cali was cor
rect for several reasons.
First, he and his staff
had carefully studied
UNC's game films and
they saw that on the right
side, Carolina always
pulled back to block for
the receiver ot the kick.
, i Kiffin had practiced' the
and it worked perfectly.
Kiffin reasoned that if
State scored first, he

Kick"
would onside kick to
really put Carolina in a
hole. A penalty on the
State touchdown and the
lateness of the State field
goal delayed this strategy
until the start of the se
cond half, when UNC
was to receive the ball.
The attempted kick
fooled everyone, bqt it
didn't travel enough to
the right. Therefore
UNC's Bill Lippincott
recovered the ball and
the rest is history.
Kiffin had the right
idea to try to dig a deep
hole in a hurry for UNC.
The Tar Heels have been
very explosive this
season, so to beat them,
State would have had to
score more than ten
points. Another factor is
that UNC had never
trailed this season and if
State could go on top
17-0, then the Tar Heels
may have lost some of
their composure.
We will never know
what would've happened
if State's Dlan had work
ed, but Monte Kiffin is
to be .congratulated for
.giving it that good old
College try.
Final score UNC 21,
State 10.
