Chalk it up to Mr. Graves....again

[Shadow34]

Make the field goal on our first drive and we win. Now I know asking you to hit a 42 yarder from the right hash is a bit much to ask, but silly me thought you might make it with you being an SEC kicker and all.

ETA: the bull **** roughing the passer call cost us the game just as much as our ****** kicker.

 

[FlotownDawg]

Or Fitz tripping on the grass on fourth down, or Ross dropping a TD pass, or our general inability to cover their tight end or our continued ****** O line play. But please, place 100% of the blame on a missed field goal early in the first quarter.

 

[msstate7]

Yeah, there's plenty of blame to go around. I will say that the only reason fitz tripped on the grass on 4th down is bc we have lost all confidence in graves. With 3-4 mins to go and tied at 14, you kick the Fg, but we don't have that luxury

 

[jdbulldog]

Would have been a 48 or so yarder....yep a real sure thing for any kicker.

Certainly not a sure thing, but which sec west team doesn't have a kicker that can make that in thin air? We have to use a scholarship on an above average kicker.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Lord knows

I'm not taking up for Graves, but the assertion that a 48 yd FG by SEC kickers is just run of the mill is incorrect.

 

[klong-dog]

Hell we couldn't get a punt more than 35 yards in that thin air.

BYU missed a FG, too....

I think that was a wash. But, not having an option to kick a field goal never helps.

We did a terrible job all across the board. We dropped a lot of INTs, Ross made a fool of himself, Fitz made the most anti clutch trip ever and our punter killed us in the 2nd half. But, the made-up roughing the passer call ended up being the single most reason we lost.

 

[patdog]

Plenty of room for improvement on this team, but the fact is, if our kicker makes two very routine kicks, we're 5-2 right now. You simply can not miss those kicks at this level.

 

[ckDOG]

If you need a FG to beat USA or BYU

You got bigger issues than a kicker. If our margin for error against ****** teams is that thin, what does that make us? I'd say a pretty ****** team top to bottom.

I agree, but look at tenn winning on their own fumble vs Appalachian state and Arkansas winning on a last second td vs la tech. Both those teams are better than us and still needed to make a play to beat lower level teams

 

[Shadow34]

bingo mr patdog. Two fgs that an sec kicker should be able to make and this season isn't a complete **** show.
