I was in the stands early to watch warmups. Wells did not kick like he did last year before the game, and it really wasn't close. Don't know why but he didn't look like he had much power. Just before the team leaves for the locker room before the game, team lined up three times for about a 40 yard try with live snap and linemen there. Wells missed badly, then King missed just wide, then King made one.
Based on what I saw pregame, King had to kick.
The Citadel kicker at the half warmups missed just wide from 59, made from 59 and made from 61. That isn't a misprint, he kicked it from his own side of the 50. He could hit from 65 at least. Their coach blew it when he could have gone up 2 scores with less than 10 min and they were at the 25 or so. He should have run it up the middle and kicked. Instead thrown for a loss and put it on the hash - missed wide from long range. To his credit, he didn't make that mistake again in the last 2 minutes or OT.
