Just read this article in the SDN, but it seems like the writer was sold a bag of ******** by someone. The article says he was the #1 rated kicker by Scout and Rivals with a bunch of offers, but when you go to their lists from the 2009 he shows up as an 2-star, unranked kicker. Anyone know more to this story? His high school numbers are impressive...so how in the hell did he end up at Western Illinois?

they gave him a guaranteed scholarship.

I think all of our kickers should be walk-ons. Bring in whoever wants to kick and then let them compete with each other- the winners get scholarships. Same for punters and snappers.

Reason I think like that is because you sign a guy like John Micheal Marlin to your signing class, and you are kind of obligated to kick him even if he sucks- when you bench him, it looks like a waste.

in the scrimmage ...not sure of the scoring, but paul said offense won 97-95 when it ended on a 37yrd fg by whatever his name is, maybe brian?

/scoring was done by mullen... someone score on each play


from the story i got he ended up there because he wanted to kickoff to open the year and he knew he was the best kicker there.

Scoring goes something like:

Offense: 1 point for plays over 3 yards, 3 points for bigplays(not sure distance), and obviously 6 points for td

Defense: 1 point for 0-2 yards, 3 points for tackle for loss, sack, or turnover, and again 6 points for fumble/pick 6

FG 3 points and normal rules apply for point after or 2-point.

Could be mistakes in there but that's close. Also normally gives losers chance for double or nothing and that's normally a goaline period from the 5 or 10. 4-downs only!
