So you are telling me that 38 yarder down the pipe is a 50/50 kick for a college kicker? I know stats are for losers.

    Northwestern's kicker made a 37-yard FG rather easily to win the game today. He kicked it with authority.

    The FG kickers for both teams in this game were clowns. Our FG kicker had a terrible kick.

    First, I have no idea your source, time period, etc. so learn how to make a fucking argument

    Second, you have a fundamental flaw in your assumption that kicks are all equal …

    We know that kick make % differs based on distance and 30 yards is different than 38 … so there's that.

    Moreover, there's a difference in the idea that kicks in the 1st quarter are the same as kicks to win the game. If you think that's the case then you've never played sports in your life. Some handle pressure better than others.

    I haven't seen any stats/data on this and I'm not interested in building this out. However, my observation is that the make % for kickers in these high pressure/leverage spots is typically worse than their usual averages.


    Here's a really good example:

    Daniel Carlson is as good of a college kicker as I've seen in the last 5-10 years. Huge leg. Very accurate. Over his 4-year career at Auburn, he made 58 of 64 under 40 yards and 79 of 93 from uder 50 yards. Yet, he gets to the NFL and all of a sudden he couldn't make a kick and lasted 2 whole weeks. Why is that? Did he all of a sudden forget how to kick the ball?

    Acting like making pressure kicks is just easy like its warmup is just fucking stupid. Not all kicks are the same. Just the way it is.

    I thought Henry looked confident. The players did too. He just missed it.

    Hey dipshit. Just go to NCAA stats and look up kickers.

    That MBA is paying off

    Fucktard …

    You clearly look like you have the stats readily available … so fucking share the link

    If you don't think that I haven't tried to find the direct source that you are referencing then you're an even bigger idiot than I give you credit for.

    This sure doesn't look like the detail that you put above …
