Kickers are difference makers

And losing the best kicking recruit right before signing day is not ideal going forward.

Yep, I was disappointed when the Becker kid flipped to Colorado. But at least it happened now and not right before the season. He sure looked like he has a ton of potential. His Dad sure was nice enough when he visited CF.

Assalley is so bad

Except for the times he beat Texas

Anyone know the scoop on why Assalley got the fg/pat job when we had the Narveson kid on scholarship? He transfered to Western Kentucky and only missed one fg (was 50+) this year.

Was going to post something similar. Also noting, we signed a grad transfer kicker from Liberty last year, Alex Probert. Probert I believe, has not dressed for any games this year. Assuming he was/is injured.

He’s been hurt all season and isn’t using his free year of eligibility. I follow him on TikTok oddly enough and he’s said that on there

Bad kickoffs (including poor kickoff coverage) and missed FGs probably cost us the Louisiana and Okie State games. Hope we can come back in 2nd half, but they sure put us in another hole again today.

The first long return should have been called back. There was a blatant hold out in open space not 5 yards from the return guy. It was right out in the open and shouldn't have been missed but it didn't get flagged. It's hard to have good coverage when the guy who can make the tackle is getting held springing the return guy.

Narveson said that he didn't work as hard as he should have at ISU. I think he has learned his lesson. Good for him.

What happened to Eddie Ogamba?? Wasn't he consistently kicking the ball out of the end zone on kickoffs early this season? He's a Junior, so should be our KO guy for the next 2 years given the year of grace, shouildn't he? Or did he have something happen which has taken him out of football?
