Admit it, you didn't give UL's hero kicker Nate Snyder a chance before game-winning boot

Yep, saw the same thing. Thought he would shank it really bad or be woefully short.

Being the eternal optimists, I was chastised throughout the time-out for loudly contending that I had a feeling for this young man and our team that he would make it.

I was sitting just below Peter Leblanc's parents. After Georgia Southern scored the go ahead 2pt. conversion, I turned to Mr. Leblanc and told him our kicker would win the game for us! I'm not sure I really believed it, but I did say it!!!!! LOL!!!

You sit in the same section as us. We were to the lower right of where Tim and Mary sat. Along the railing.

I actually thought he had a shot, swear to god. Think about it: there was no pressure on him. Almost everyone didn't think he had a chance.

I actually texted my cousin that he's got a serious leg, so he's got more of a chance than you think.

Would I have put money on it? Absolutely not. But I wasn't that surprised he made it.

OK. I went up to sit with my son and grandson. My normal seats are in Section C, but I was re-seated in Section Z.

I asked the person next to me if he had that much leg and they said that he hit them from that length in practice all of the time, so I had faith

Honestly I told my son right before the kick... He is going to make it.... The little I know about him is that he has a strong leg.. I said he can get it there... The question is will he keep it even in the stadium... But I said he is going to make this one

I have a question about that: how strict were they about folks moving seats? I am usually in upper deck portion, but could only get GA tix, which I didn't take. Watching the game, I could see that there were very people in my original seats. I don't know if I get in on a GA tix if they would move back into my area.

Our usher in section G was not check stubs and saw a few groups of people that exceeded the groupings of 4 seats. She seemed more concerned with keeping rows that were closed to seating remaining that way and chased multiple people trying to seek shade under the overhang. It was a very pleasant September game out of the sun.

We had no one checking in my section upstairs. Plenty of people sitting where they weren’t supposed to be seated.
