Cade York 11 of 13 FGs with one miss being from over 50 yards out.

Will Reichard 4 of 7, with 1 miss under 40 yards, 2 more under 50.

I know its always about offense/defense but this is a key part of the game, as it can take/lose momentum and we have seen where kicker has been important in #1 vs #2

But what were the other two misses from York?

Has been, and probably will still be out with a hip flexor.

I absolutely concede the field goal kicking advantage to LSU. If the game does come down to a field goal, things might get profanely intolerable for Bama fans.

In Saban's tenure at Alabama, no team has missed more FGs than the Tide.

When the team was dunked in to the Black Warrior River, we forgot to bring the kicker along.

Yeah...York hasn’t looked comfortable in weeks. He’s hit uprights or come close, missed an extra point (not the Auburn one...which was a bad hold), and just generally looked like a talented freshman.

It’s clear we aren’t totally comfortable with just lining him up for a game-winning 40-yarder in Tuscaloosa right now...

That’s good because LSU will be forced to kick FGs all game. Those RZ struggles against Auburn will come back to bite the Tigahs.

Well - joke is on you. Reichard is hurt so we have gone back to Bulovas at kicker.

He is 100% accurate on kicks that he kicks perfectly.

York went on the road in his second game and laced two kicks during prime time. The kid has it.

Of all the tangibles to compare, LSU's suddenly shaky kicker is the one you picked to highlight?

This is a weird thread. York has zero confidence right now. He's looked extremely shaky going on 3 weeks.

I wouldn't be pumping up York here lately.

It could be an edge, especially at the end of the halves. But then again, the way this game looks on paper. A team could end up kicking fg's when they need td's to win.
