TexasTiger 12,998 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Edited & corrected: Semifinalists will be voted on by a panel of more than 100 FBS head coaches, SIDs, media members, former Groza finalists and current NFL kickers to select the three finalists. These finalists will be announced Nov. 28 and honored at the 32nd annual Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Awards Banquet on Dec. 4 in Palm Beach County. The same panel then selects the winner, who will be announced live on ESPN during the Home Depot College Football Awards on Friday, Dec. 8. https://auburntigers.com/news/2023/11/9/football-auburns-alex-mcpherson-named-groza-award-semifinalist.aspx 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never forget when I learned my fraternity brother, Win Lyle, was going to be our starting kicker. I had no idea he could kick a football. Remember Coach Dye taking about a kicker, maybe Scott Etheridge, as being "a little effeminate?" 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess the thought process was that out with a student population of 18 to 20k surely someone can kick a football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPTiger 5,173 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I just looked up Win's stats -- he was 95 of 96 on extra points and 76% on FGs. Not bad for a walk on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One would think they would adjust the list for a freshman who is perfect on the year. One question I had was on kickoffs.... It seemed at times we were instructing him not to kick it into the end zone and to instead kick it high and a little shorter to one corner of the field. I'm not sure why we wouldn't always want him to kick it out of the end zone. At the very least it would keep us from having JHunter on the kickoff team. Literally, in the Arky game he had a long TD run and was out there on the ensuing kickoff.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodehard is only a few points from being the all-time scorer in college football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
