  • Kickers

    In case you were wondering about the kicking siutation yesterday, Cole Smith has an undisclosed injury and was not dressed for the game yesterday. Can't say I really know anymore than anyone else at this point in that regard.

    I think the important part is that despite the fact that Lowery and Bales made all their kicks yesterday, we got somewhat lucky consdiering neither had kicked a FG in a game situation since high school. Both of the field goals were pretty ugly looking but they all count when they go between the uprights I guess. Even if Cole returns soon, we have a kicking issue to address. I'm not completely confident in any of the kickers right now.

    After the first field goal all the other kicks were better than Cole. They all were right in the middle and good height and distace. I will keep the new guy.

      Bales was All-State from Indiana, and was ranked the 9th best HS PK in the USA. Cole did his best, but I think his time has come and gone. Bales is also a punter.

      Had Cole hit a couple of those missed FG's at Notre Dame, the win would have been much more convincing.

        I just watched the highlights of both kicks again. I think I was being too critical. It's not as bad as I made it out to be. Lowery's was better than it appeared on first watch. It just hugged the upright a little. Bales has a huge leg. That kick might have been good from 60. I thought it was a knuckleball or a tipped kick during the game but it's not. it's just a low kick that made it over the line. Either I need my eyes checked or the camera resolution at that game was awful and it's probably both.
