oh yeah, lol;.. 'with a line drive kick to the back of the head' or something like that...

I am just surprised that Brett Baer does not do a better job on kickoffs.

But with usual kickoff specialist Hunter Stover sidelined by surgery performed last week to repair a torn anterior cruciate knee ligament, and kicker/punter Brett Baer not fully healthy, linebacker Lance Kelley gave it a shot.

My thought after his second one was he will get better and better as the night goes along. He was pulled after that. His first one was nerves, plain and simple. His second one was decent but perhaps due to hang time, the coverage wasn't there.

It seemed a lot like last year really.

Baer is hurt.

DO NOT QUESTION OUR COACHING DECISIONS

I will give you seven reasons why.

They have to have field kicking against higher level cometition.

I'd be surprised if they take the redshirt off Alvarez. He does not directional kick well and they are looking at high school kickers now that Stover is done.

He is hurt and that does limit his kicking but he also isn't very good at kickoffs. He kicked off for us last year and wasn't very effective.

Is this career ending or something for stover? He will be back next year right?

IBR, we got NO options...it is what it is...thats the way the ball bounces...thats the way the cookie crumbles...a stitch in time saves nine...a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush...if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle.

Hope this helps..

I'm not complaining or anything. I was just saying him being hurt isn't the only reason his kickoffs weren't great. This team just has to over come this. And who knows, maybe kelly will improve with more work.
