October 22, 201510 yr Florida Gators tried out 77 students to be walk-on kickers this week trying to find a kicker to replace K Jorge Powell out for the season after getting injured. I'm hoping one of them makes it and just kills it the rest of the season.
October 22, 201510 yr Just like high school. The guys that could do it are hanging out with the guys that say they could too.
October 22, 201510 yr 216 applied and 77 made it to the actual kicking tryouts (including 2 women). No pressure on any of them if they make the team. :lol2:
October 22, 201510 yr Better question is how does a team of Florida's magnitude end up in a situation where they have no backup already on the roster?
October 22, 201510 yr Author They had a back up make EPs in the game after Kicker was hurt...I think they are now looking for a back up for the back up.
October 22, 201510 yr They should have just gone to soccer practice. That's about all soccer players are good for anyway. :banana:
October 22, 201510 yr They should have just gone to soccer practice. That's about all soccer players are good for anyway. :banana: And I can guarantee you a field goal kicker's practice is a lot easier than a soccer player's. The kickers I played with spent about 30 minutes on the field kicking field goals and the rest of the time screwing around in the locker room. Of course, the pressure to kick a game winning 50 yard fg for the national championship maybe a little much.
October 22, 201510 yr I'm hoping it's a 300lb toe-basher. I love fat kickers. Have you seen Penn State's kicker?
October 23, 201510 yr [ATTACH=CONFIG]52858[/ATTACH] The Big Ten has some BIG kickers Sebastian Janikowski 2.0!
October 23, 201510 yr Didn't the Gators win a National Championship with an extremely poor kicking game in 2006?
