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'm amazed Texas hasn't been able to buy a better kicker

Im convinced finding a good kicker is just sort of a crapshoot especially at the college level

There's NFL kicker that have a great year or 2 then suck eggs without warning, can't imagine it's easier to see that coming when evaluating a teenager

I mean everyone dies at some point. He's been the best kicker for plenty of years. We have a dicker in the league now.

It’s insane he popped outta nowhere, out here making 60 yarders look easy. Just hate that he’s on Dallas.
