He had another miss last night with no pressure and a straight on angle. He’s struggling and it could bite us in the arse going forward. Any ex kickers in here have an explanation why?

Watching it in the game, I mentioned to my son, who kicks, that it looked like he leaned his body to the left when kicked it instead of coming in with a proud chest.

Who was the kicker a few years ago that was pretty damn good until he had girl issues?

I think he's been practicing with NFL balls to get ready for the draft. They kick different than the NCAA balls.

Same issue with Carson Beck in his last year at UGA.

I have a good buddy. Holds the FG record for our highschool. Played for Gundy at Okst. Left there, and was an all American at Lagrange. Special teams coach for a HS team now…. Anyways I asked him about this during the game last night and he has zero answers. Kickers are on or off. It’s in his head.

Billy Bennett only missed kicks when he was on cocaine.

That was back when the richest kids on the team had dads who owned plumbing companies.

I think we've just finally fully assumed the new bama mantle. Elite D, elite run game, QB thats more a game manager surrounded by talent, and kicking issues.

His girlfriend broke up with him and instead of going and scoring some primo leg and forgetting about it, he’s in shambles. That’s just my theory; I have no evidence or intel.

I think its in his head, hes been a solid kicker before this little slump in his time here....when was the last time UGA had a truly bad kicker situation? i know the kids love Hodrod these days i do too, but local product and NCAA record breaker Billy Bennett is my kicker, dude looked like any white guy acoustic guitar player in some mediocre band playing at Nuci's Space, he was great

100% agree.

I think he has the yips.

Overall I think this is the weakest we have been on special teams under Kirby in as long as I can remember.

Woodring has been terrible

The punting has been average at best, which makes it feel worse because we have had one of the very best punt units year in and year out until now.

It seems like Helton fumbles a punt at least once a game.

Blocking punts/field goals is something we are usually the very best in the country at as well. I wouldn’t say we are necessarily bad at it this year, more so we just haven’t really gone after it much this year

If this is true we need a new plan. Rarely do you see kicking yips unyip.
