Actually, I thought of that too!
Bama's punter is outstanding. How do you not have a really good kicker there?

It's "our" way of keeping things fair.

And thankfully he's only freshman.
As for kicker , I will guess coaching technique has to do with it...the kicker we have now was hitting 50 yarders regularly in hs and was the top kicker coming out

Adam Griffith started almost perfect but has been dealing with what Saban's called a 'medical issue' since about mid-season that has clearly limited him.
He didn't play at all against WCU and only handled the kickoff (which Saban has now said was a planned onside kick that didn't hop) and the last XP. I figured the last XP was akin to what he did in putting Vogler in for the mercy knee.
Unless whatever's wrong turns out to be chronic. I think Griffith will prove to be pretty good with a chance to be great. He's already made a kick with the game on the line, which is something Cade Foster couldn't manage in three years.
What has me surprised is that we've actually got a backup kicker that can reliably hit XPs and short kicks. I didn't think we had a soul after Griffith.
