Can anyone kick the damm ball???? - Notre Dame Football Discussion

**wahoo** · 10-05-2008, 01:55 AM

I have been impressed with how the team is starting to play but there is one thing I just don't understand. How can a well-known major university have so much trouble finding a kicker who can consistantly make a field goal? Hell, the woman's soccer team in ranked #1, so recuit one of them to kick! This kicking game is going to cost us a win sometime!

I still have not seen a perfect snap. The only attempt I watched, the holder caught the ball to his left, then had to twist and place the ball. Microseconds mean a lot.

He's 1-7. The holder has had plenty of time to put the ball down because he takes a long time to approach the ball after the snap. It's a miracle that more kicks haven't been blocked. I haven't heard any of the analysts on NBC or ABC (vs. MSU) talk about bad snaps and I sure as hell haven't noticed any terrible snaps the last two weeks.

Seems like every kick he attempts though is from more than 40 yards. Yesterday was what... a 41 & 47 yarder? He has proven he can't kick them in games. Put him and the team in a position to succeed.
