"If Pulaski has a fourth-and-8 at its own 5-yard line, Kelley said his
explosive offense likely will convert a first down at least 50 percent
of the time. If it fails to convert, statistical data from the college
level shows that an opponent acquiring the ball inside the 10-yard
line scores a touchdown 90 percent of the time. If Pulaski punts away
(i.e., a 40-yard punt with a 10-yard return) the other team will start
with the ball on the 38-yard line and score a touchdown 77 percent of
the time. The difference is only 13 percent."

The key to this strategy is found at the end of the first sentence
above: "...Kelly said his explosive offense...."  While it may work
for that school's situation, I don't see it working here.  Haven't
seen that here yet.
