I still turn my back every time an NU kicker attempts a field goal or extra point. I rely on someone else to tell me if it's good.

Misplaced football rant. How hard would it be to find some Poindexter from like Lisle Benet that is nails from 35 yards, and then have him practice and, you know, get better?

It really remains a mystery. It sure seems like just about every other major college FB game I watch on tv consists of two kickers who are pretty automatic from 35 yards and in and often times kickers are good out to about 50. But at NU, even a 24 yard FG is an adventure.

It's not just that 24 yards is an adventure, it's that because it's an adventure Fitz takes risks he probably shouldn't take. Though I like when he goes for it on fourth down, I'm not a fan of running the ball on 3rd and 10 from the 20 in the hopes of going for it on fourth down. If we knew the kicker could hit a 30-yard field goal most of the time, the entire offensive philosophy might change once NU got on the opponent's side of the field.

I sorta' forgot where I was. Sorry. I saw FG kicking and my brain went on auto-rage mode. It won't happen again.



(Yes, it will)
