Kicking by the numbers

Few things:
You have to go way back to find another school even remotely close to having a single year as bad as one of ours. UGA had an 84% year 4 years ago and not even close since. We are frankly abysmal and there is a problem Incase you didn’t already know. Something else to note, most other teams use a specialist to hold for the kicker, someone who is practicing with them all the time. Obviously take pap out of this as he was trash from day 1.

So circa October 2006 who among you would have guessed that Leigh Tiffin would be the best kicker Alabama would have for the next 13 years?

Maybe BDS is like Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. Those damn swirling winds 
Jk. I have no freaking idea why we are as bad as we are at FGs. I will say some individual numbers can be skewed bc when we have had 2 kickers , one has tried all the long attempts but out of all the kickers since I can remember going back to late 70s, I can’t remember one that the ball comes off consistently as bad as Bul. His XPs barely squeak in also and this is coming from a teacher / coach who HATES to talk negative about a kid. Except maybe in the basketball thread sometimes

Didn't Alabama miss more XPs last year than the entire rest of the conference combined?

That chart could also be titled: "worst kickers in SEC history." If the NCAA moves extra points back like in the NFL we are screwed.

The kicking game is just baffling to me. Wasn't Griffith the #1 kicker prospect in his class? So it's not like we haven't had "talented" kickers. It's shocking that we haven't brought a consultant like a Morten Andersen or an Adam Vinatieri in to work with these guys.

I just wish Van Tiffin would have had about five more sons two years apart after Leigh.
