I read last week that he has the highest FG% in UW history. It sure seems like he misses a shit ton of kicks.
Was 83% in 2014 Was 80% in 2015 Is 50% for 2016
Career is 39/50 for 78%
He's missed plenty in critical situations (USC and Boise State last year, Arizona 2014 and 2016) but seems to do fine in blowout wins and blowout losses.

He was tight because the whole fucking team was tight as a gnat's ass. Obviously, you would like an autistic kicker who gets no emotional information from his teammates, but I don't really put that shit on CVW. He's an average Pac-12 kicker and an average kicker just goes as his team goes.
Chuck Nelson fucking nails those, probably... but ultimately Chuck was on winner teams as well.
As some doogs blasted me for saying last night, making field goals in easier games (like throwing accurate TD passes in easier games) does not make you a winner.
And Ross almost made the boneheaded play of the night by not only trying to make something out of something that wasn't there at the end of the 1st half leading to a fumble, but he got damn lucky to not fumble the ball again when he picked it up as instead of covering it he tried to pick it up and run with it ... also lucky he didn't hurt himself in the process.
We made a lot of losing plays last night ... we also made a lot of winning plays. As DDY said, it's a process. You don't snap your fingers and become clutch as nails overnight.
I'm sure he's happy to never kick at Arizona again ...
I don't think he's a shit kicker ... but no question that he tightens up in close games.
A kicker that tightens up in close games is a shit kicker.
Our whole fucking team tightens up in close games. Have you noticed?
It's not just the kicker.
Disagree: Lavon Coleman made a huge splash. John Ross and Dante Pettis made clutch plays.
I'd have to Re-watch to see if Gaines and Qualls did their jobs. Rest of the defense should be embarrassed, particularly the LBs.
p-salm fire twirler should be sent packing.
Bullshit. Lavon was the only guy who made key plays last night. Everyone else's nuts shriveled when it was on the line (see @Tequilla's comment).
Jakey B shit himself, Vita shit himself. Kev King shit himself. Budda shit himself (and I think Budda is a winner in general).
So get the fuck out of here with that bullshit.
CVW shit himself because our whole fucking team did. He's not special. Calm the fuck down.
I know you wanted a 84 point victory over a shit team, but if you come back to reality land for a fucking second you might appreciate the fact that we never win games like this and a win is a fucking win.
The #1 task of any coach since the 2001 Holiday bowl is to turn us into a team that thinks we can win. We've had 15 years of being losers.
Our whole fucking team shut down. We could not get up by 2 scores and we could not stop them when they needed to score. How is CVW doing anything different than anyone else?

I bet a pretty high percentage of current kickers have the highest FG% in their program's history.
Until our guys can produce clutch performances against the top tier, we will remain among the middle tier.

It's a struggle to go from losers to winners.
It's not just the kicker.

Fuck off with this shit.
Winners win.
