Why not UConn transfer Tarbutt for long FG?

[McPeePants]

Grad transfer who is 3rd on kicker depth chart has only attempted a PAT this year. FG numbers from UConn aren't elite, but he is 3-3 from 50+ yards: https://www.espn.com/college-football/player/_/id/3921942/michael-tarbutt

Have we attempted a 50+ yard FG this year? I wish they'd let him try kickoffs. Maybe he doesn't have the leg for it. But either does Ryerse

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say the staff believes he's not as good as the other kickers. But that's just a guess...

 

[Governor Sibley]

Do his kickoffs get past the 15 yard line with okay hangtime?

We did attempt a 50+ yarder against Iowa

 

[Governor Sibley]

We play with a field that's effectively 15-20 yards longer than our opponents.

We give up 10 yards on kickoffs. And we need to get 10 yards closer.

The math is bananas!

Please show evidence.

Apparently he went to class with only a henley shirt on, so he sits until he gets it.

this will come to bite us... our kick offs have gotten worse as the year goes

 

[highwayman]

Evidence of detriment please.

I wish our kickoffs went into the endzone too.

The plus side of our inability to get kickoffs is watching Braelen Oliver on kickoff coverage.
