re: I lost respect for Kirby Smart for running up the score.

He kicked a 49 yd FG, so 1 more yard isn't a big deal to someone with a leg strong as his.

Did you see it? It wouldn't have made another yard. It barely cleared the crossbar.

And he had never hit 50 in a game.
So putting the NCG on the line for a kicker whose nickname at UNC was Struggles (quote from Mack Brown) was a bold move by Day that failed.
The missed kick was on Days coaching.
Not Ruggles' leg.
