I have seen quite a few upright hits on fields goal attempts this year. Could we make that another scoring opportunity? You must call that you are going to try it on a field goal attempt and you would get 5 points by hitting the uprights or the cross bar. You would not get the 3 points if it goes through. This would give the offense an additional chance at the end of games

Why get 5 points for being less accurate or strong with the kick (although I get that you would call it for the posts). Crossbar doesn't make sense at all to me.

How about one more goal post in the middle, that is always 5 points? Or a set of very narrow ones?

How about a FG from the 0-10 yard line be worth 1 point, 11-20 be worth two points, 21-30 worth 3 points and anything from the 31 on be worth 4 points? An FG from the 31 yard line would be a 48 yarder, probably less than 50/50 for most college kickers. That would more strategery to the end of close games.

It is being way more accurate. it's like calling swish in HORSE. You have to declare We are going to hit the goal post and then do it. It will only count as points for hitting the goal post structure. The part that holds up the goal post wouldn't count.

Don't soccer guys do that as a game in practice of trying to hit the goal frame?

Eliminate field goals. They’ve become too routine. And you’d get a lot of 4th down conversion attempts inside the 40, which is one of the most exciting plays in football.

I get what you mean. I just gravitate towards the center ie consistency.
