Griff made 69.5% of his kicks in his Alabama carreer.
Less than 70% isn't great for a big time college kicker but it sounds like we'd take that this year.

Bowling fricking Green can recruit a kicker better than we can.. WTF!
I'll repeat it: Damn you, Eddie Piniero!
Of all the high school teams in Alabama, we can't find one dude that can consistently make it from 40 in? frick the long stuff, just 40 and in. If we get to the opponent's 25, I want a good chance to come away with points.

He had a pretty bad sophomore season (63%) that pulled down the career number. His junior (72%) and senior (75%) numbers aren't going to win any Lou Groza awards but they're solid mid-pack. I posted all Bama's kickers since Bryant a while back and even with the bad soph year, Griff's career numbers were 6th best out of 17 Bama kickers with at least 10 attempts. His career percentage is even better than Van Tiffin's.
The kick-6 and bad season to follow simply branded him for life in the minds of many Bama fans. I'd obviously LOVE to have had Daniel Carlson instead, but over the last couple of seasons Griff was more than serviceable.
