What an awesome weapon he has been for Iowa State. What a luxury to have a freshman step in and take over a position so well. It has been nice to not worry about the punting position for a while.
"There are five real good recruits in the state. We got three of them. One couldn’t get into school, and the other went to (the University of) Iowa...which is about the same thing." - Coach Johnny Orr
Field position is something we haven't really been talking about, but we had a definite advantage there against Tulsa. Other teams will have to move the ball farther than we will in order to score. Congratulations to Kirby, and I look forward to seeing it all year.
I sat beside Kirby's great aunt about 2 years ago on an airplane. She saw my hat and we started talking about her great nephew who was hoping to play some for the Iowa game. I thought, "Yeah right, you crazy old lady"
