Did anyone notice our first FG attempt

[missouridawg]

When the kicker picked up the grass and dropped it to see which way the wind was blowing? Haha, like you really can play the wind.

Then he promptly pushed it 5 yards wide right. Wind must've died down.

I hope Mullen runs off every kicker we have when Day shows up. Take every ounce of pressure off that kid and make him as comfortable as possible.

We could Cirrusly find some better FG kickers . That was awful .

Can anybody here say "South Alabama?" Not again please. Please not again.

I watched the end of Auburns spring game and they had their kicker kick a FG with basically the whole team on the field and he was surrounded by people simulating pressure in a way.
Mullen had his kickers kick all FG with only the center, holder and kicker, and we still sucked.
Auburn consistently has a great kicking game, maybe we should do like them and put our kickers through the stresses of having to make pressure kicks.
Just a thought on an observation...

Auburn has great kickers and stress having great special teams unlike Mullen who just sees it as a BS part of the game or did until last year when it bit him in the ***.

The only kicker to actually make a FG wasn't even on the roster. Just #40 on the game stats. Looks like another year of go for it any time you're inside the 40 again.

has that one kicker who we recruited made it to campus yet? I believe he was a punter but was going to have a shot at kicking.

They don't need more pressure if they can't hit what amounts to an extra point. They need to find something else to do, and Mullen needs to find a decent kicker. It's worse than watching a highschool team try to kick.

I appreciate the guys who walk on and give it their best shot, but it's ridiculous that we're trying to compete in the toughest division in college football, have additional scholarships available every year, and yet can't find a decent kicker to give one to.

Auburn consistently has a great kicking game,

What makes matters worse is auburns kicker is adam carlsons brother, we should have him. Or sean brauchles brother who is awesome at southern.

This is a pretty amazing and telling stat. We have not kicked a field goal of longer than 50 yards since 2002. Brent Smith vs. LSU. 53 yards I think. Just goes to show you how little effort we put into finding quality field goal kickers. Dan's strategy has just been get a walk on and hope he does well. He got lucky with DePasquale, and Sobiesk was pretty good in 2014 and Graves OK in 2015. But Devon Bell was terrible and Graves was a nightmare last year. Placekicking has become such an important part of the game and many schools are actively recruiting them and signing them to scholarships. That's why Auburn always has a good kicker. Florida went out and signed a great kicker last year and he was automatic as a freshman. I'm glad Dan has finally seen the light and got a great one committed for 2018, but this year could be an adventure. I hope Day is a good kicker, but we signed him as a punter.

Daniel Carlson is not Adam Carlson's brother. Adam was from Gulfport. Daniel is from Colorado Springs.

 

[Cary Hudson's little bro]

We just announced Friday that the state of Ohio's #1 kicker accepted a preferred walk-on spot with us. He'll be here for the summer

I know Mullen is pretty much bullet proof at this juncture but if he takes another potential 7 win team and turns it into another 5 win team because we can`t kick a mid-range field goal, Cohen needs to kick him in the nuts and put him on notice. Any SEC team is suppose to be able to kick 30 - 40 yard field goals pretty easily. It ain`t like we`ve used all our other schollies on 4 & 5 star blue chip position players.
