to Bluffing Your
Way Through
Football Season

Fall is right around the corner and that means the
return of two very important things for college
students: pumpkin spice lattes and football season.

You may be a passionate football fan counting
down the days in anticipation for opening
kickoff and know every player on your
favorite teams. Or, you may be the girl who
doesn’t even know when last season ended
and this one starts.

Whatever the case, football is certain
to be an important topic of discussion
for many of those around you, and
you may want to become more

knowledgeable about what all the
fuss is about. You don’t have to learn
everything, but understanding the
basic terminology for the “All-
American sport” can go a long

way on game day!

So whether you just need to brush
up on your football vocabulary,
or if your answer to someone
asking what your favorite
football team is the “Orlando
Blooms,” here are the basics to
help you bluff your way through
football season.

First Down:
The first of four attempts that a
team gets to move the ball down
the field 10 yards. If they fail to
do so, then the other team gets
the ball. If the team does not
successfully accomplish this by the
4th down, they typically chose to
punt the ball or kick a field goal.
