Crappy subject line, but good question.
Answer? Honestly, I honestly don't remember AU ever having a bad kicking game, and my memory goes back to the Shug era. We've had some phenomenal PKs over the years - Jett, Portella, Del Greco, Etheridge, Lyle, Holmes, Duval, Vaughn, Yost, Byrum, Parkey - all those guys were solid, generally accurate multi-year guys. I don't recall of a time in AU history where I was watching a close game thinking, "damn, I hope it doesn't come down to our kicking game, cause if it does we're screwed". I don't think very many long-time fans of other SEC programs can say that.
Our punting has been almost as good over the four decades I've been paying close attention. We have just been very fortunate to find quality legs every season.
