Why the frick do we keep trying? Just punt if you don’t trust your offense.

My friend who’s a big UT grad laughhes at me when we picked him up from the portal. He’s not good.

Meanwhile….Starsyk continues to impress down in Baton Rouge….

Do we miss Scott Fountain yet?

Fountain all in all wasn’t terrible. We never had any good returns but that’s not uncommon and our kickers were usually good at least.

From what I gathered Fountain was generally a boon in terms of attracting the top kickers. His reputation for developing them was very good.

You can poke holes in other aspects of special teams, but I'd rather just have a good kicker.

For FBS college football, the average success rate is approximately 49% for field goals between 50 and 54 yards. A coin flip. Just to put that number in perspective.

so the fact that our kicker is 14% on the year, do we have enough evidence to say he shouldn’t be kicking them?

You trolling? Starzyk hasn't made a single kick from 50+ and only one from 40-49.

Or if you are going to have a shitty offense, spend more on a kicker.

There was a reason no one hired Fountain, he was terrible. His reputation for development is very bad.

Just what the coaches around the sport say and why no one wanted him.

quote:

On-Field Special Teams Struggles: Despite recruiting standout kickers like Cam Little and Jake Bates, Fountain’s units at Arkansas were plagued by costly errors, including muffed punts, missed assignments, and inconsistent coverage. Similar performance issues previously led to his dismissal from Auburn's on-field staff in 2017.
