The Kick Six Of Old

Every football fan today is familiar with the pick six, a term that came into use in the early 2000s after an NFL analyst found that teams returning interceptions for touchdowns won 77% of those games. Many also recall Auburn’s Kick-Six, when Chris Davis returned a missed Alabama field goal attempt 109 yards to win the 2013 Iron Bowl. — www.footballarchaeology.com
Timothy P. Brown reminds us of how some antiquated rules allowed a now-disallowed way of scoring.

Before There Was Pass Interference

It isn’t easy to get things right on the first go-around, as shown when the forward pass became legal in 1906. The rules heavily restricted the forward pass, and the game lacked proven throwing, catching, and route-running techniques we now consider obvious. Also missing were rules concerning pass interference. — www.footballarchaeology.com
Timothy P. Brown has dug up the dirt on what football looked like before restrictions of interference during a forward pass in this Football Archaeology post.

Football Training Camp In The 1910s

It is that time of year. College football training camps are opening nationwide, almost all filled with hope, if not optimism, since we are one month from launching a new season. Most camps are held on campus nowadays, though some venture off for bonding and other purposes. — www.footballarchaeology.com
Football archaeology goes back in time to describe early gridiron training camps, who had them and what they did.

Fourth Of July Football In 1895 Butte

From football’s beginning in America’s Eastern colleges, the game was played almost exclusively in the fall. Only on the West Coast and in the Rockies did 19th-century teams play football at other times of the year, with some playing football year-round. — www.footballarchaeology.com
