What the smell happened to our kicking game?

[GTKyle]

I thought Blair had never missed a FG in practice?

He choked big time, even though I did see a high snap on one of the FGs.

GTkyle I don't know if you saw it but the missed FG was a bad snap which caused a late spot and a bad hold... PJ jumped on the snapper big time as well as 74 for jumping offside to cause the field goal attempt

I said I saw that in my original post...

I'll go with "we lost both our kickers" for $200, Alex.

And one of them was blocked slightly.

In a game like this I'm glad that a couple of FG opportunities came up instead of a string of TD drives from start to finish --shows that there is some work to be done in the kicking game, and hopefully the wrinkles can be ironed out in practice next week before ACC play begins.

Blair missed a PAT as well.

Teams lose their starting kickers every year. That doesn't mean the next year it looks like their FG unit is comprised of 12 year old girls.

Well, considering before we got those 2 kickers we just lost, our kicking game did indeed look like a bunch of 12 year old girls, I'd say it's not that big of a stretch.

People tend not to realize how important kickers are to the "kicking game."

we do we have to insult our players? if anyone should be compared to a 12-yr old girl, it should be you!

 

[cyptomcat]

I am with buzzczar, maybe a comparison to last year's Clemson kicker, even that is harsh

one of those FGs was a 52-yarder...not exactly a gimme

True, but it wasn't even close. Plus Blair missed a PAT.

Are you sure you were watching the Tech game? The 52 yarder had the distance and was just a little left.

The short field goal was a bad snap and a bad kick.

The PAT, I've got no idea.

From upper north the FG looked waay left.

I'll have to see the replay on TV. From the upper west, it didn't look that far outside.

 

[cyptomcat]

I was in the south stands, I remember it something like 5-10 feet off.

Uh where wher you sitting? Had just enough distance and was wide left from my angle in the LWS.

Oops you already stated that...

He choked.
