    We won a lot of games by very small margins. Having a kicker like Olano is a very big part of that success. Last year Alabama’s kicker only made 69.6%. If it was that easy to find a good kicker how is bama using that kid

    If it was that easy to find a good kicker why would Texas A&M spend a ton of money to get Olano. Kicking a field goal with pressure and an opposing team trying to block it is a lot different than kicking on air in practice. It’s also not easy to sit on the side line for a couple hours then go in...

    Do you think Ohio states kicker was shanking field goals in practice like that? When the bright lights are on it’s a lot harder. What can a coach do to get a player ready to make a game winning field goal on national tv. Not to mention the 70,000 screaming fans in the stadium. When kicking on...

    A Yeah because kicking field goals in practice is the same as doing it when the games on the line with a full stadium. Everyone looks good when theirs no pressure.

    Go back and look at the last 2 years. He played a big role in a lot of wins. With our style of play having a clutch kicker is huge. With bb we haven’t blown out many teams

    Yes but how many walk off field goals did he have last year? That is not easy for a college kicker. That’s exactly why he got paid a ton. The thing that hurts his nfl future is leg strength

    I heard he was offered double. McCollum is also very young he was only 18 last year as a sophomore. With 5 for 5 passing he still has a lot of time time to improve his pro stock

    McCollum is a good player the problem is he got offered a ton of money. But he’s not going to start for Texas A&M. Saying he’s a great player is a stretch.

    Olano was very good and definitely won us a couple games but that’s 1 player. To say we lost some great players is meaning we lost several great players

    He got hurt at the end of the central Michigan game. Last year very few back ups played compared to previous years. The start was going for style points to try to make the playoffs.
