Cal Kicker

Lots of lulz in this thread.

All sad but true. Miami as an opponent is where opposing QBs make their case for the Heisman and kickers solidify the Groza.
 
It isn’t surprising though. Here is how we rank in made kicks by opponents since 2017:

2024: currently 109th
2023: 118th
2022: 110th
2021: 69th
2020: 32nd
2019: 98th
2018: 48th
2017: 129th (dead last!)

Since opponent FG % is largely a random stat (with the rarity of blocks), it would certainly appear opposing kickers are more zeroed in on their kicks when they play us. The only time we finished in the top 3rd was the Covid season.
Didn’t we go the whole 2017 season without an opposing kicker missing a kick? Or maybe it wasn’t until the last game or something ridiculous like that?

I remember 2017. I think that's the year we didn't have a single miss against us. GT kicker literally fell on his *** during the kick and still ******* made it.
 
Announcer 1: "He joined the team yesterday and hasn't kicked since his freshman year of high school."

Announcer 2: "He said his asthma has really kept him from continuing his career. Anyway, this will be a 57 yarder...it's got plenty of distance! And it's good! That would have gone through from 70!"

Announcer 1: "He's collapsed after the celebration, probably the anemia he's been suffering from all his life."
 
He's 5/11 on the year. Who's willing to bet he'll nail every kick against us?
And on top of that look at the strange breakdown...he's 3-4 from 20-29, 0-3 from 30-39, 1-1 from 40-49, and 1-3 from 50-59...so apparently he can make it from 50 but also can miss from inside 39 pretty frequently which means he'll drill every deep kick with ease against miami...
 
Feels like they only nail the long ones when we're playing at home.

Further proof of the stadium's Tequesta Curse.


Best kept secret in our fan base is that indeed ( I won’t make the words, as the breaker of chains has arrived - he is him ).

Dolphins are cooked forever though.

You must have missed Gramatica’s kid nailing 60 yarders against us in Ray Jay.
