I know this doesnt get much talk with everything else that went wrong, but quietly we have found out that our Kicker is not dependable to put it lightly? I try to follow recruiting so from what I think, we have no stud in pipeline and no one on roster who is better (especially from watching pregame kicks). We lucked up into grabbing an accomplished punter from down here who graduated but he is gone next year. It also seems Golden tries to bring in kickers without wasting a scholarship by having them walkon (again if those are the kids kicking with Goudis before the game, uhhh find a scholarship kicker ASAP).

As bad as our teams have been these years, we still have always had decent kicking game, right now that kid is not dependable and its getting to the point that we cant trot him out there. O'Donnell has been a godsend, but we cant bank on that every year. Am I overreacting, do you guys believe in Goudis??

I've been very concerned about this as well. it's especially disconcerting, given how close our wins are. At some point, we are going to rely on the kicking game, and it's a huge question whether it will come through.
 
Right now Goudis cant be depended on for kicks over 35 yards. Dude completely shanked that kick in Tally, it was ugly, I dont think an FSU player got a finger on it, I could be wrong but if not it was bad as soon as it left his foot.

Yeah, missed FGs are huge in momentum swings. Goudis needs to be on a tight leash. Also, who is going to punt for us next year?
