    That scared the shit out of me. If your kicker needs a pep talk before a kick, he shouldn’t be your kicker. He almost missed that kick BTW

    Every shot of Camden Lewis walking the sideline psyching himself up scared me to death. I was livid at the decision to settle for the kick, and it would have been a historic miss if it went the other way.
    Would you rather have a fumble or a bogus snap like has happened more than once this season? Game ends, Oregon loses in that scenario.
    Not a bad point, but far more unlikely than a freshman kicker missing a GWFG. I think if you have two opportunities to score, you take them both.

    Seems like he's the only kicker we've got right now. Maybe kicking a game winning FG will boost his morale and he will become more reliable going forward. His missed extra point helped put the ducks in that position, but Maldonado would have missed the game winning FG for sure.

    You guys know a lot about kicking

    Ever done it?

    Nope, I'd suck at it. You seem bitter...

    So we can't criticize anybody in a field we aren't good in?

    I know some really shitty attorneys, cops, and doctors, but since I've never practiced law, studied criminal justice, or earned a PHD, I shouldn't criticize?
    I’m just asking

    You also said 90% mental. Since you’ve never done it how do you figure?
