Matt Cook from UNI would be a good add
Do they have to enter the transfer portal at a certain time? It seems odd to me to announce before the bowl game.
Case in point:I remember reading about him when we first signed him. I was thinking that we finally had a kicker that could hit a long FG if we ever needed it. It sucks that he didn't pan out here, but hopefully he ends up somewhere that's a better fit.
FWIW, I would hate to be a kicker. You could hit 99 out of 100 field goals, but if that one miss costs you a game, that's what people will remember.

Narveson hasn't impressed on kickoffs. Too many kicks out of bounds. Not very many reached the end zone. His squib kicks were usually fielded before the ball even got to the opponents' 30 yard line. I hope this is a step toward revamping our special teams in all areas. We would have beaten Iowa and Baylor and maybe KSU with better special teams.
Case in point:
First miss in two years.
You probably have to be on the kickoff team to impress on kickoffs.Narveson hasn't impressed on kickoffs. Too many kicks out of bounds. Not very many reached the end zone.

Wasn't that the only missed PAT of Goedjen's career as well?Was at the Nebraska 23-23 tie game and everyone from back then remembers Tom Goedjen's missed XP that would have given us a 24-23 lead. Almost no one, other than me, remembers the Nebraska kicker also missed an XP earlier in that game. Goedjen was a good kicker, I'll say that even if he did hit on my gal at the Cave Inn one night.
Only 2-4 on fgs for the year and all were 40+ yarders. Staff must not have been too impressed with him in practice.

Alrighty then. Never even knew we inserted Paddock into that role this year. Given how inconsistent Paddock has been, I'm surprised they didn't give Narveson a shot.He didnt handle kickoffs I didnt think. I thought Paddock did.
