Okay here's a question for all you fans out there. Exactly how important are the place kickers in college football? Or pro football for that matter?
I mean last week (and I'll admit I didnot see the game, but saw the Game Trax on Foxsports) and saw that Ijjas made the extra pts when he kicked, but the other kicker for the gators missed his. At lease one that I know of.
Now in my opinion kickers can make or break a team. They can be the sole difference between a win and a loss. I have seen games lost because of a missed field goal. I think back to when the colts played pittsburgh in a playoff game and their kicker missed a field goal (and threw his helmet on the ground and got a penalty) and it ended up the Colts lost.
So what do you think? Should kickers train harder than they do or do they not make a difference.
I also think they should teach kickers how to tackle for real. I mean teach them how to hit a guy and make him eat dirt. Sometimes on a return he ends up being the last guy there to stop a touchdown run.
Just my thoughts for the day.
