Do you reckon that Richt knew about it before or did Coach E sneak that one in? It just doesn't feel like a Richt move unless we finally have Evil Richt.

It makes me happier to tell myself that it was the former.

I'm so sick of that freaking pooch kick. I know we would have gotten the onside on the one if not for the penalty, but they got that field goal at the end of the first half because we kicked it short. Every freaking time we kick it short, they end up on the 25+ yard line. I don't get why we don't just kick it out the back of the endzone every time. Just stupid.

We didn't pooch it though, it was just a returnable kick with poor coverage.

If we could, we would. The problem is if you kick it lower to try and boot it out of the end zone and you don't connect well, your coverage team is out of position and the opposing team has a much more likely chance of getting a great return and will get much better field position. Our KO coverage was great last season, and they made a couple of mistakes last night but hopefully we'll figure it out.

100% of all kicks, kicked out of the endzone are never taken back

Enlightening.

Ole Miss kicks it out of the end zone last night and they don't force a fumble and at the 20 5 seconds in to the game.
