    I read last week that he has the highest FG% in UW history. It sure seems like he misses a shit ton of kicks.

    Historical college football comparisons are pretty bad since the game has changed so much.

    I bet a pretty high percentage of current kickers have the highest FG% in their program's history.

    Like Browning, he racks up his stats in games that are just a little easier - oregon state, wazzu, miss st., Portland, Rutgers, etc etc.

    Until our guys can produce clutch performances against the top tier, we will remain among the middle tier.

    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.

    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.

    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.
