Absolutely deserved. Glad he was recognized for his performance. In the same vein, our punter deserves several butt taps for his ridiculous coffin corner performance as well.
This should be a thing for sure: Big Ten Butt Tap Player of the Week.

So does Fabrizio now get the starting job after that stellar performance? Do we have a kicker controversy? Congrats young man!!! You saved the day!

In my opinion, absolutely. Pinton doesn't seem to have much of a leg based on his kickoffs and the distance on his FGs, so what I'd probably do is let Pinton kick any FG out there under 40yds and then let Griffin do the rest as he seems to have a bit more power. So I wouldn't call it a controversy, just a further designation of responsibilities. And really, Pinton earned being the go-to-guy for short FGs. Accurate and nerves of steel.
