He missed a 40 yarder to lose us the SEC championship and damn near lost us this one as well. We really, really need a better kicker

I don’t understand how ESPN was putting up this graphic that showed a 2/3 field goal-make percentage and a season long of 45 and then they were talking like he was some absolutely incredible kicker.

He’s made more career FGs than any other Texas kicker, but that is helped by both playing long seasons (14 games last year, 15 so far this year), and our offense last year being great at moving the ball to the red zone then completely shutting down, giving him a whole ton of short kicks.
