Man that kicker was so close to being flayed.

Question for you. The broadcast said this kicker went 4 of 16 and n FGs at his previous school. Why in the fuck is this guy on the team? Shouldn’t have even had to go to OT!

u/GoldfishDude Kentucky Wildcats 6d ago

He has a massive leg for kickoffs and he was supposed to be the backup for our starter last year on field goals (Jacob Kauwe), but the starter was injured to start the year and has only attempted 1 FG since then

Thank you for the explanation! Hearing that I was just flabbergasted and thought he cost them the game. He’s very fortunate the team bailed him out!

Yes he was! Other than last night he's been shaky but okay. For what it's worth he went 7-9 in 2023, 4-16 in 2024 and is 8-11 on the season so far. He also had to punt and kick in 2024?

Not sure what went wrong in 2024 for him

In OT. Every game for the rest of the season.

Honestly it’s the smart way to play OT. 

Win the toss. Defend first. Then go for 2.

Absolutely

Moronic to go into 2nd OT w your best 2 pt play in your back pocket

u/DirtyOught 6d ago

I think it’s sort of unfair to some extent. 

I bet if more teams catch on they will change the rules in a few years to force going to 2 on every TD. 

Currently since it is not forced, the first team has disadvantage. If they go for 2 and miss, the other team can kick it. But if they score and kick, the other team can win it.

If they don't get a new kicker they probably should do that
