HB says that our kicking game is atrocious and we may lose "a few" games over it.

This pisses me off. How does a so-called major program not attend to something like this?

I think Utah fans might relate to this.

Well, we have given a scholarship to a kicker, a punter and a long-snapper. I think we've tried to address it.

P.S. HB Arnett is one part part reporter and two parts chicken little.

so you're saying that our kicking game is going to be ok?

Indy Coug · 08-20-2007, 02:26 PM

It depends on what you mean by "OK". If OK is better than atrocious, then yes.

is terrible better than atrocious? I don't want to play semantics with you.

is the kicking game ok? or is it going to suck?

Punting will be better than last year. Placekicking will be worse (we were 14 for 18 last year). We will probably be about average overall.

I would have to agree with you here. I have never subscribed to his newsletter, but my brother used too. He is definitely a half cup empty guy.

This Payne kid was supposed to be all world. Well, I guess right now he isn't. What happened to the kid from St. George, did he go on a mission.

To tell you the truth, I am far more worried about our D-Line depth.

Half cup empty compared to avg BYU fan. A little overly optimistic compared to actual outcomes.

You should hear what Arnett has to say about the DL. He is talking about moving guys off the OL to play DL.

My only expectations are that the kicking team is 100% on extra points, 100% on FG's < 25 yards and around 70% on FG's between 25 and 40 yards. Anything else is gravy.
