The 11 misses:
OM- 46 and 51 yards
OU- 32
AU- 44, 33, 44, 57
A&M- None
LSU- 44, 50, 49, 52
Made:
OM- 44
OU- 27
AU- None
A&M- 28
LSU- 34, 46
In close games we should not even think about attempting 40+ yard kicks.

That's the thing, long FG's are difficult even for good kickers. We have had mediocre kickers or flat out terrible ones.
If it's under 4th and 10, we're far better off going for it.

They're gonna have to get more aggressive and stop settling for long FGs. The 40+ yard misses are really starting to mount up.

And why the frick would we do that when he's 67% from 40-49?
And why would anything Cade Foster did factor at all into the decision?
Bama fans are supposed to actually have more brain cells than a turnip.

quote:For college kickers, I expect them to make anything under 40 yards. Anything over that and the possibility of missing is pretty realistic. Out of all of those, the only miss that I think should have been made and directly resulted in a loss was the 33 yarder against Auburn last year. All of the other ones were tough and were honestly gambling a bit by going for the kick especially when you consider how obvious it was that our kickers were off on those nights.

ETA: With that being said, the only one of those that I actually disagree with the decision was the 57 yarder against Auburn. At the very least, I disagree with the decision to not put anyone who could cover a return well out there although there is admittedly a lot of hindsight there. Personally, I would have tried for a pass to the end zone, but it is over.
