Yeah guess I should have cleared that up haha. That's what we say about ourselves since most of us were denied as incoming freshmen. We're not usually the stellar students, but everybody wants to party with the transfers. Hence the "half as smart, twice as fun."

We embrace it.

Ruffer is the only one that is 100% on the season, but the other two guys have kicked 10 more field goals than Ruffer.

Anyone else hoping the USC game comes down to a game-winning field goal by Ruffer? It would certainly help his chances.

I think Dan Bailey will win it though, he is the leading scorer in the nation.

A money kick against SC locks it up. The return of ND bias begins with a kicker.....

shooting from the hip here, cause I don't know if its true, but...my first impression is Bailey's team's red zone efficiency SUCKS. Bailey still hit them, so he is deserving of consideration, but if I'm right, his numbers are inflated...its like rewarding the free safety for being the leading tackler.

Well, I can think of at least two more field goals he should definitely have on his tally this season. Damn!!!
