I've been worried about field goal kicking since Nystrom graduated. Can't be any worse than last year.
Yeah it can. See 2007. Gianinni, Justin.
We were pretty solid on XP's last year weren't we. I thought we were decent last year.
And yes I'm concerned.
Let's use perspective and not try to compare against the ever elusive perfection.
Penn state and Mich state were they only teams with perfect XP's in the B10
OSU and Wiscy each had one miss.
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Mich, and Minn each had two misses.
Purdue with three
Northwestern with four.
Let's not try to paint our kicking game as poor last year. It wasn't the best ever but it was far from being a weakness.
I guess I don't know what you're saying. If you're saying we sucked, I would strongly disagree. If you're saying there are better kickers out there, yes I agree. If you're saying you just didn't feel confident when we had to kick, i guess that's not debatable, it's just how you feel.
Regardless the original point of the post is if we're concerned about next year, and I am. Because it could be worse.
I still think about when Giannini shanked the extra point in overtime against penn state in 2006
