Wow....it was a 54 yard attempt. Yea, it was ugly but give the kid a break
Seemed like an obvious Hail Mary situation to me.

HCSF addressed that directly in the post game presser. He said that due to depth some positions were seeing little change in personnel. (Not exactly those words, but it was clear what he was saying).I think you answered why some players are not getting PT cut while others are...depth and injuries.
That’s a little out of line.Why not when stupid comments are made about them?
Hmmm....let's see. A lineman standing still falls over for a penalty.
A punter on a wet day plants his foot and slips.....and still has a decent punt out of it considering the slip.
No, they aren't similar.
Agree.
That is clearly not what happened with Cotton.

Basically, you could go through the O & D Line rosters from the Pelini and Riley eras and find guys that were mostly unremarkable.
I am not going to the previous screen to see what was posted. But when a kid has a full ride scholarship to be a kicker. His lone job is to kick the ball through the goal post and it looks like what we saw the other day. I am pretty discouraged that is the best we can get for the six figures it cost to go to school. I could see if it was a nice looking kick that fell short at the goal line or something because he just doesnt have the leg for 54 yards. But that is not what it looked like.Damn. We’re defending kickers now? I don’t recognize the world anymore.
Don't go down this road with me. It's wrought with peril. We do not criticize.I am not going to the previous screen to see what was posted. But when a kid has a full ride scholarship to be a kicker.

Hmmm....it landed right in front of the center post and almost on the end line of the end zone.I am not going to the previous screen to see what was posted.

Seems to me to be a kick that was perfect in direction but just not enough leg to get it there on a 54 yard attempt.
I thought the same thing when they lined up for the kick. I was shouting that’s going to be a live ball. Fortunately Purdue couldn’t hear me through the TVWe're lucky that they didn't have someone back there to catch it and go 'kick-six' on us.

Or pregame warmupsThat's what I was worried about when we first sent him out there to even try. I was fairly certain he didn't have the leg to get it there.
Luckily they didn't watch the Alabama/Auburn game from a couple years ago.
