Fourth and Long Gone is a 1985 novel written by college football coaching legend Pepper Rodgers. Although fictional, it is a roman à clef based on true stories. Unlike more serious exposé-style sports fiction written by authors such as former Dallas Cowboys receiver Peter Gent, who authored the gritty North Dallas Forty and the darker The Franchise, Fourth and Long Gone is more light-hearted and bawdy.
