You ever watch the Friday Night Lights game out of Columbus and see how all those suburban high schools have good kickers? But this academic scholar hit a 33 yarder like it was nothing... https://www.si.com/college-football/vanderbilt-student-mi...

That kid would have made that kick from 50. I was thinking the exact same thing greencat. We just need anyone that can make extra points and consistently make a 35-40 yarder before it costs us game down the stretch. Forget the 50+ yarder pipe dream. Too much pressure on the offense to score a TD when a short FG puts it out of reach.

LOL. And the pressure to do it with $500K on the line. On TV. With Herbstreit holding. How’s our engineering program these days?

Back in May, I remember someone mentioning Britton Watts, a kicker the team brought in from Utah State. I checked out his Twitter, and he’s got some impressive clips — big leg, accurate, and even drilled a 70-yard field goal right down the middle. Might be worth giving him a real shot to see what he can do.

I found it surprising that he isn't kicking off if his leg is as big as advertised.

They have him on the team, not sure why they don't give him a try.

The situation is so bad, there is no excuse for not trying every option at your disposal. My son, a soccer goalie junior in HS, was brought out by the football team last spring. He routinely made from 35-40 with ease consistently. I know...in-game against a defense, pressure, etc. But still...he had never kicked a football in his life. And it was ultimately decided he wasn't gonna do it because they had another guy who was better. It is really hard for me to wrap my mind around an FBS school not being able to land a consistent reliable kicker.

I can't find any stats on Britton so that is why I was asking where to find them. When you are at the place they are, why not try them all. Alex is a returner I believe so give him a chance?? He does have stats. So many games this season have come down to a last minute field goal. For us to make Detroit, they need to exhaust all channels. I looked at the depth chart and the team only lists 1 and 2 for all positions. Why are they not listing a 3rd? Then they have an additional players on roster but not injured??? Trying to go for a 4th down within 20 yards and not being able to rely on your kicking team is crazy. I'm sure players parents have more access to the coaches than commenting on a message board.

They want them to pay first then get paid. Dynamics have changed from 10 years and longer ago.

Yeah, our kicking situation is potentially that bad.
