Should have let him kick that ball. Rigo's confidence is much higher right now. Ham is done


I forget; how long would that FG have been? We were on Vandy's 41 yard line. Add about 17 yards and it would have been about a 58 yard FG?

I think that's correct. I didn't mind throwing the hail mary since we appeared to have them unprepared, but prior to the time outs being called I was looking forward to seeing Blankenship try the long one.

Just looked it up. We were on the 37 yard line. That would have made it a 54 yard field goal. Your point is valid, no doubt. A VERY long kick for a kicker who has struggled all year...or for that matter, it's a long kick for a kicker who has been very good.
He has the leg, though, and he kicked 45 yarder easily earlier in the game. I just think if he had kicked it and made it, it would have really helped his confidence and maybe solved the kicking problems for a couple of years.

Its all speculation, though. I can't blame Smart for not wanting to try it. It's easy for me to say he should have let Blankenship kick it after I know we had a failed Hail Mary. If we had completed the Hail Mary this wouldn't even be talked about.
