And they miss another one. We've got to make that hurt.

At least we continue to have a huge Special Teams advantage.
There is the momentum shift we needed. Door is open...

Another gift
Man with our recent history at kicker it's easy to forget how much of an adventure the college kicking game usually is
have to capitalize on that gift!
On a side note, I totally disagree with those calling for I. Williams at QB. First, it ain’t happening. Second, why would we want a guy who was at best 2nd string and more likely third string QB and hasn’t practiced at QB for a couple of months to come in and play. And third it isn’t a good thing for IW. If he’s going to make NFL, it will be at WR.
Hanging on, but ....

Is it even that recent? We've had great kickers for like 30 years.
Somebody with a hot line to the coaching staff, please ask the D politely to TACKLE! A wee bit more tackling of the legs and hips. This jumping up on the shoulders and going for a ride is looking ugly.

So, if here the ball went between the poles, it would be just 1 point too?
Would have been 3

3 points. A Point after Touchdown is 1 point, a Field Goal is 3.

Field Goal (FG) is good for 3 points (half a touchdown).
This is part of why I love college football. The level of play is very high but nothing is automatic like it is in the league to include hitting wide open receivers.

Nope. That is only after a touchdown. It is called the extra point.
If you kick without the touchdown it is a field goal and that is worth 3.
ps MoCo had it covered.
Sorry, replied too soon there!
