For the life of me I can not figure out what someone who could hardly kick the ball 35yds during pregame was thinking trying to kick the ball while running and holding off a defender. I am just glad, as I am sure he is, that we won and I hope in the future he just keeps running or falls on the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A true freshman, no? Kids are going to make mistakes. Let's just hope it never, ever ever happens again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure there are former high school punters or soccer players that can do better. Our punting situation is horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snaps have been low all year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't entirely his fault. I am not making excuses for him because the ball was still playable. That was a horrible snap. As soon as I saw the ball coming back and saw how low it was I said "Oh NO", and then it happened. I'll agree though, I haven't been too impressed with our kicking so far this year.
