Eddie Piniero can EABOD.

But that's in AZ dry heat...ball travels farther than in the FLA humidity.

As long as it's straight, I'll take it. :hurray:

I'll suffer through a 70-yard field goal

False. Balls carry further in humid air

What's also amazing is he's considerably shorter and lighter than Piniero...like, coach Saban's size, and a Buck-70 soaking wet, but is hitting monster kicks like that. -Which tells me that his technique is very sound, and he's making great contact.

The damn wind was whipping from left to right at a pretty decent clip too. Notice the flags at the top of the goalposts.

Lol. That's the only thing.

But outside of the godforsaken, never to be mentioned again kick-6, our coverage units have been outstanding maintaining coverage lane discipline the last 4-5 years. And the k!#*&k-6 flub was a unit problem that led to a coverage lane problem. We were max protect on that play, and had beef in there. Had we had our FG safe unit in, we'd be 3-peating.

So, I'm not too worried about a returner breaking contain in the future.

Even more impressive.

Forget 70, I just want someone consistent from the 35-50 yard range. I think I get more nervous on FG attempts now than 4th and goal from the 1.

Welcome aboard Mr. Ruiz. Roll Tide.
