38-of-39 on extra points
21-of-26 on field goals
4-of-6 on field goals of 50+ yards
Ranked third in the Sun Belt in scoring (101 points)
Broke Marshallā€™s single-season field goal record (21)
Broke Marshallā€™s career record for 50-yard field goals (4) in one season
Hit the second-longest field goal in program history (55 yards vs. Coastal Carolina)
Tied Marshallā€™s single-game record with four field goals (vs. Texas State)

Looking like we're in the mix here could be letting Talty go as well

Also, this is the first time this guy has ever kicked the football. He was a kid from Ireland that just joined Marshall this year so give him an off-season and he'll probably be better than these stats show.

He should get a nice NIL deal from Innisfree.
 
Also Wiltfong logged a prediction for Peak to land with South Carolina, looking like Bama may not even get a visit at this time, we shall see. Interested to see how we start working on starting OL options. I like the depth/possible battle pieces but we need people that can start day 1 and perform.

Homeboy is 37, but that haircut makes him look like a 49 year old HS coach. :ROFLMAO:
Looking over his bio, was QB at UAB and has been with QB's and co/offensive coordinator positions most of his young career. I like this move. Will be interesting to see how he does.

A clip-on tie might be in order. I bet his shoes are mess as well.

I don't believe Bama is willing to spend the big dollars to sign these tip top guys. You have to consider how paying huge dollars will register with your roster. I know you can't keep everyone happy. Trying to thread the needle.

He wants to play/start Michigan just paid their guys to come out of the portal, they're not going to up his contract and they won't give him playing time. He'll probably take less to know he will get a chance to play here

Is this their national song? Not sure there is a more synonymous song with a country of people.

I don't know but it's the song that pops in my head when I think Irish. Well, either that or that blond gal that went viral a few years ago at the Irish wedding singing the Rattlin' Bog song. But the Dropkick Murphy's would sound better in the stadium. haha

Why are so many of our guys hitting the portal? Is it mainly voluntary or being shown the door?
Click to expand...
Little bit of both. I'd say about 12-15 were told "We're moving on from you" and about 5-7 will be "I wanna try to find a new place to thrive" I mean see Talty and the LS both caused issues throughout the season and they've been shown the door. Mbakwe didn't wanna do what the coaches wanted and was asked to move on. Anugworm was asked to move on after the first year didn't work he didn't progress or move the needle. So many others on there that are similar to that hard to go over them all it's a case by case basis
