He really killed the momentum in this game and hurt us bad in last years’ SECCG. Combined with his miss vs. USC I don’t see how he is under consideration for the Lou Groza award. This guy is slightly more than average

I agree but it wouldn't have made a difference anyways.

No matter who the coach is, we lose every game the same way.

Missed field goals are always a sign.

Being down 20-9 in the third vs. where we were is a big difference

Yeah forget the fact that he made a Rose Bowl record in a CFP win before halftime, or the 51 yarder in OT after our QB took a huge 3rd down sack in the national title game?

It was hard to talk about last season because the guy has been such a cult hero, but his miss in the SECCG last was an absolute dagger that often gets overlooked. And it wasn't a particularly tough kick.

He's been a good kicker overall. But he's like pretty much all of them. Never to be fully trusted.

Let's not forget about the South Carolina chip shot that could have tied the game.

If you’re relying on a FG to beat the 2019 South Carolina Gamecocks, you deserve to lose.

Are you fricking retarded? Do you not remember that kick in the Rose Bowl?

Yes I remember. I was there. However you have to draw the line somewhere and not every situation is as important as the next. That kick in the rose bowl didn’t feel as pressure-full as the ones today and last year

I'm still convinced that we win that game something like 45-21 if he makes that kick. It left the door open for their comeback.

He also missed a kick in the Rose. And the title. And the SECCG. Hot Rod ain’t as hot as people think.

Are you trolling with this shite? USCjr was all on Kirby who could have given him a kick to win the game at the end of regulation. Instead he put him in a terrible position having to kick to stay in the game. shite on a guy if the clutch miss is to win the game but it just is why it is when your back is against the wall after the terrible decisions from the coaches.

Considering the crappy play by our receivers and our QB, I think it's stupid to try to blame this season-long disaster on our FG kicker. The short punt by Camarda and several punts into the end zone gave LSU more opportunities than a missed FG. Dropped passes and errant throws hurt as well.

The main problem is that we are attempting more FGs. Have to score TDs, especially in big games.

Ya running the ball on 3rd and 10 to get into better kicking placement is not how you beat a LSU. I knew when he did that the game was over.
