| FTBL What Kiffin think about Sark was excellent choice!

[94 Grad]

@94 Grad, it's been going for a bit now. That's the reason I've been so adamant defending the kicking game...blame has been misplaced.

Maybe some... but honestly on some of the kicks we missed last year... the hold was the least of the issues... especially on the extra points missed.

And kicker picks his holder.... ( sure from a choice coach gives him)....
Just who ever......you know...
Always funny....how a kicker kicks his extra point....straight through.....lands straight through...and fg flies all over place,...
But....who has a kicker that can hit both goal post......that is something

Why do we have the QB holding anyway?.... so that some day down the line we can run a fake FG and pass the ball? I just don't see the advantage of having that in your back pocket when we can't make FG. Put a Walkon kid or a 2nd/3rd stringer in their and let them run the hell out of reps with the kicker/snapper to get it perfect every time. I'd trade a more consistent FGM% over the ability to run a fake.

I don’t know for sure and this is just my opinion. But I’d think say it is a bad snap or some mishap.... or fake field goal.... I’d rather the QB passing or throwing on the run.

Many of the plays ran are from the USC playbook that I have.

Makes sense given that was Sark and Kiffin's offense at USC

At practice, it's out of a tee. It's not being held.

And how it's placed in the tee is how the kicker wants the holder to hold/place it.

Someone should tell the holder then...

My point of view.

These things have to be practiced. It's not a point of emphasis.

You want consistency on the offensive line early in the season and often point to cohesion. There's no greater truth on football.

The line on kicks...not a lot reps there, right? Remember that cohesion story we talked about?

Timing. Holder. Kick.

There is a reason it is bad. It's Saban. It's his style. It is not the player. It's the situation he's/they're being placed in.

My view, ya know ...
