Can any of U armchair kickers tell what the issue is with Jake?

At this point, does his lack of consistency force us to forgo the FG attempt at or around the 30 yard line?

He is done. Done, I tell you. Why, you ask? Because he can't make a FG anymore, from any range
 
Unfortunately in a season that we need all the points we can get to win a game he has become a problem.
 
Feel bad for him. He has gone from one of the best kickers in America to the worst. Needs to be benched.
 
I feel bad bro, claws my boy, he's from Illinois I really thought going home and playing at Soldier field would help him seeing his family and stuff but god man idk. This who,e team needs to stop smoking pot

Kicking is mental. He's in his own head right now. He needs to make a couple and then he'll "remember" how to do it.

/and I was a Soldier field sitting in my seats 50 minutes before kickoff watching jake kick and miss Kick and miss kick and miss and then miss again and stop trying .....knew it was gonna be a tough game
 
New snapper and holder messed with his head over timing? Gotta get with that Jake! You can do it.

Lulz OSU, Bama....Any team other than the service academies and BYU are guilty of this.
 
Is the coaching staff considered offering the kicker from Miami Central? He's making 50yd fgs, while in hs. It may cost us a ship, but it's only 1 ship that's used for a kicker for a period of 3-4 years.

How are we supposed to know what's wrong with him? It could be an injury, but most likely it's a mental thing. The swing is all about feel and timing. Think of a golf swing or baseball. Maybe he's just in a rut. I noticed it 2 games ago (GA Tech I think) where he stutter stepped a little before making an extra point. It was like "uh oh". After that, it went downhill.

He stutter stepped on the XP that tied the game and sent it into OT. Remember, new snapper and holder for some games. Not making an excuse, but kickers, like baseball pitchers are all about routine and status quo.
