Love Game Day and the FG try is epic stuff. That kid would have made that kick from 50. I was thinking the exact same thing greencat. We just need anyone that can make extra points and consistently make a 35-40 yarder before it costs us game down the stretch. Forget the 50+ yarder pipe dream. Too much pressure on the offense to score a TD when a short FG puts it out of reach.

He hit that thing like it was nothing… in socks. LOL.

And the pressure to do it with $500K on the line. On TV. With Herbstreit holding.


How’s our engineering program these days?

He is supposed to have a huge leg but not all that accurate. I found it surprising that he isn't kicking off if his leg is as big as advertised.

Even though I am relatively certain you are Britton Watts parent, I still totally agree. The situation is so bad, there is no excuse for not trying every option at your disposal.

My son, a soccer goalie junior in HS, was brought out by the football team last spring. He routinely made from 35-40 with ease consistently. I know...in-game against a defense, pressure, etc. But still...he had never kicked a football in his life. And it was ultimately decided he wasn't gonna do it because they had another guy who was better. It is really hard for me to wrap my mind around an FBS school not being able to land a consistent reliable kicker.

They don’t want to put money in this position. They want them to pay first then get paid. Dynamics have changed from 10 years and longer ago.

Gus the kicking Mule has eligibility?

Hell, I'm not even asking for a 34-yard chip shot. Can we get someone to make extra points? My sister has some eligibility. What are we doin here?

My question is how in the world did Dellenback get to UCLA? This other kid who isn't playing and I've never heard of until today, Britton Watts, cool name, has videos of him hitting 60-70 yarders constantly. We can't get this brother to aim or something? Magnus looks a little better at punting. Can he kick it off the ground? The only enjoyment I get from Peacock is hearing people say Peacock.

I get it man. It's a confidence game. There is wind and bugs, your toes are chilly, Brenda from Zoology is making eyes at you from the Hill... but cmon.... It started as a joke on Gameday and now we have half drunk teens in their bare feet booting 35 yarders at 10am. And we can't get 1/6 kickers to do it? What is OU's tuition these days? $25K? $25K x 6 = $150K... I solved your problem. Go find a kicker and give him $100K. Give the remaining $50K to Josiah Yazdani to show them how to aim.

On that note, I'd say it would be a wise play on Ohio U.'s part to start investing in international recruiting of players. Hey, we already have an idea of that with Duncan Brune (Germany).

By the way, I'm rooting for Kansei Matsuzawa to do well in Hawaii.

Ya’ll realize we had to replace our long snapper and holder, right? A lot goes into kicking. Peacock was pretty accurate last year at FCS with the same ST coach. I’m not sure the problem lies solely with the legs; at least it didn’t begin that way. Right now I think it’s solely between the ears.

I can say from the one game I've been able to attend in person... NIU... That there was a snap or two that wasn't good and the holder did well to get them in place.
