AUld fAUx@ 2,584 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 “Auburn won’t have a Lou Groza finalist in 2017” Not sure whether to feel flattered or dissed. Writers seem to believe our offense will be too good to give Mr. Carlson enough opportunities. p. 3/12 of Take two: 10 more bold predictions for Auburn football in 2017 http://auburn.247sports.com/ContentGallery/Take-two-10-more-bold-predictions-for-Auburn-football-in-2017-52377856/3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean 2006. Byrum started in 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Operative fact there is 2014. As I said, a veteran (Carlson-level) kicker is potentially a totally different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a kicker, but if I had to guess it's probably akin to a quarterback's throwing motion being affected by playing baseball. At least that was true for me and I had months in between the seasons to get back into form for either sport. That doesn't mean that he still won't be a stellar place kicker.
