Look, I know Bama will never be perfect, but the kicking game is, and continues to be, well below even average.

2/4 on extra points - many short kickoffs too.

Punting is just a little better - only a long of 36 with none inside the 20, usually kicking on a short field. At least he gets them off quickly.

Waddle was even shaky on returns. Had one return for -3 yards and juggled many fair catches.

If this is what we have to trade in for soul crushing dominance in every other aspect of the program then I'll take it.

I'm at peace with it now, it just is what it is.

2 of his 4 punts were inside the 20


1st qtr, 9:48 left : 34 yard punt, touchback (should have been inside the 20 if our guys had looked around)

1st qtr, 1:09 left : 32 yard punt, fair catch at LSU 18

3rd qtr, 10:41 left : 29 yard punt, fair catch at LSU 11

The holder was the problem last night. Both snaps hit him in the hands and he bobbled them both, throwing the steps and timing of Bulovas way off. Heck! When I was there as a walk on, we had a guy there by the name of Jeff Wahl that was Phillip Doyle's holder. Dude was 5'6" 150 tops but he had the best hands of anyone I had ever seen.

If for some reason Bulovas does go full retard now. One of my son's former teammates is currently in school there but hasn't ventured over to the Mal Moore building yet! He was our school's place kicker and a 3 year letterman wing/striker on the soccer team. He has been hesitant to try out because he is good friends with the kid from Hoover.

That wasn't all on the kicker either - some bad snap / holds - especially on the first PAT.

I believe we are up to 6 or 7 missed XP on the year, which has got to be a school record.

you can go a whole season without missing a single one pretty easily.

I'm first in line to mock our kicking, but Bulovas has been at least average and not all that bad if the snap is fine. Thankfully, to this point, kicking hasn become a bathroom break between Tua and Q Williams killing people.

Our punting situation won't be an issue in most games, but it's an issue if we get in a tight game.
