Rodehard is only a few points from being the all-time scorer in college football. 

And? He missed a kick when his team really needed it. Almost costing them the game. McPherson is a freshman and was the better kicker in the game.

The Lou Groza Award is not given to the best kicker in the Iron Bowl. I’m fairly certain of it.

It is for the best placekicker. Place kicker duties include field goals, extra points, and kick offs. Could also include punting.

No. Punting is the Ray Guy Award. McPherson will get his due in time, he’s an excellent young kicker, but Reichard is on the cusp of becoming the all-time points leader in the NCAA. That will get votes over a freshmen phenom most of the time.

I agree. As much as we like the home team here, a freshman isn’t going to get consideration over an upperclassman who kicks for a team who gives him the opportunities he gets with the Bama offense. McPherson isn’t taking this personally and neither should any of us. After years of horrible Bama kickers they were due. That was their Achilles heel for a long time.

Alabama's kicker wasn't even the best kicker in the Iron Bowl. That is just silly.

He is not the best kicker in the league for sure. Depending on whatever metric you (attempts, makes, length) he does not lead in any category. UGA kicker had more attempts, more makes and higher percentage.
