Missed Field Goals

[Builder 86]

We had 2 missed field goals? We will need those against Clemson.

[1913-14 263]

He'll fix it...slight alignment issue with follow thru...

I think it's a good. Get right for clemson, even though I don't think we will need it late in the game.

Hopefully, Daniel got his misses for the season out of the way early. That's all I am allowing him for the season.

It's funny how we take Carlson for granted. Most kickers can't make 50+ yard field goals. Heck, had he made all 4 he would have been only the second kicker in history to make 2 50+yard field goals in a game. The first was earlier that day in the Michigan/Florida game, if you are wondering. The kicks he missed were 53 and 46. One of the ones he made was over 50 and looked like it could have gone another 15 yards, easily. Most kickers would have maybe made one of the field goals he attempted.

There's rumor that, in a game where it doesn't matter, Gus is going to give him a shot to break the record (67 yards).

Carlson will be fine.

The snaps weren't that good either which can mess up a kicker.  One of the snaps was almost lost completely.  Don't worry too much.  It is Daniel Carlson we are talking about after all.

Carlson is the best kicker in the nation. He will fix this .. very confident in him

Wise investment.

He's saving those two for next week.

DC is the best place kicker in AU history. No need to worry at all IMHO.

Don't forget that Daniel missed 3 FG's last season, but he still ended up as one of the best if not the best placekickers in college football.

I was more bothered that we need to attempt 4 field goals against GA SO.  No offense (pun intended) to our opponent Saturday night!

[JBiGGiE 2,488]

I'm blaming Stovall for those two. LACES OUT!

[homersapien 11,637]

It's my fault.  I praised him on the game thread right after he kicked the first one. 

I promise to never mention him again until after the season.

We certainly have gotten used to DC making FGs look like XPs.  Even my 9 year-old gasped after he missed the 2nd one!

Definitely hoping/assuming these misses are out-of-the-way and he'll be locked in at Clemson.  Would just love to see him win one next week by splitting the uprights as time expires.
