title: After Further Review: A fan's guide to understanding what's really happening on the football field
author: Ken Woody
description: Ken Woody is a former Fox Sports football commentator who played defensive back, receiver and kicker for Oregon from 1966 to 1970. He coached college football for 18 years, including stints as an assistant at Oregon, Washington, Washington State and Utah State, and was head coach at Whitman College and Washington University-St. Louis. I learned football working under many great coaches, among them Len Casanova, Jerry Frei, John Robinson, Bruce Snyder, George Seifert,and Ron Stratten at the University of Oregon, Jim Owens at the University of Washington and Jim Walden at Washington State University. Most of my coaching experience was on the offensive side of the ball with quarterbacks, receivers and kickers although as a head coach I coached defensive backs, linebackers and offensive line. I achieved my first goal of being the youngest head coach in college football at the age of 26 and throughout my career in coaching and outside of it, as a journalist and broadcaster, have experienced how exciting and gratifying it is teaching the game to others. One vivid memory as the (then 7th leading scorer in Oregon history) kicker for Oregon: being booed by 34,000 people, including my mother. Bounced back to kick winning field goals against Washington (twice) USC, Air Force and a last-minute onside kick in a comeback win over UCLA, who had a 40-21 lead with 3:50 left in the game.
