I'm beginning to think we aren't very good at kicking FG's...

[Xenomorph]

We are the only team in the SEC not to have made a field goal. Alabama sits at the top... 7-7. We are 0-1.

Sooner or later it's going to cost us. Hope it's not this weekend.

I said on twitter while watching that Kentucky/Florida game that I cringe at the idea of us having to kick a field goal in overtime.

But we unleash a hurricane of touchdowns on our opponents, we simply don't need a fg kicker.

Do we or should we go for it on 4th down on anything over a 30 yard field goal situation?? There's no way our FG kickers are making it at night in Tiger Stadium.

I looked at the kicking chart. We will be fine. ******

 

[KurtRambis4]

Our current

situation with FG kickers is just completely and totally ri-damn-diculous. There's no excuse for it.

Don't over react.

Just because Sobiesk made 5 extra points in a row, doesn't mean we can suddenly kick a 25 yd field goal confidently. We should go for it on anything longer than an extra point.

Guys. They haven't missed a fg in practice in years. No worries right?

New SEC Rule Helps Us

They've decided that in league play instead of kicking the actual field goal, we can substitute videos of our kickers making them from comparable distances in practice. Dan was right!***

We should go for it even in the red zone.
That is serious in every way.

4th and 6 from the 16? go for it. That's a 33yd FG- which our kickers make 19.83% of the time. GO. FOR. IT.

1000 times agree

We need to have an all-or-nothing cutthroat mentality. The worst would be missing a 27 yard field goal after a great clock-chewing drive. If our kickers suck, let's just plan on them sucking and not give them a chance.

Sadly I am finally in this camp. If we did this and it worked, we would have a ton of publicity and we would probably be better off than kicking it.

Even if we don't get many of the 4th downs, we pin them deep in their own territory and it isn't any worse than missing a field goal.
