I don't think we'll beat Texas and I don't think we'll go undefeated. Here's why

Debbie downer!

As several CBers have pointed out, BYU's kicking game will probably cost

Look for one kick return for a touchdown or resulting in field position that

It was one kick and not even an important one

Steven Koren

and all the kickoff kicks

Because they are bigger, faster, stronger, and the game is on the road.

9/2/14 11:21am

Totally, their quarterback is so much bigger, faster, and stronger than Taysom.

Way to look at the big picture there...

Get over it.

Did Texas practice with the masks this year?

The coaching staff knows we weak there and would be surprised if

I have the solution . . .

Meant for the OP.

Bronco has pretty much ignored the kicking game since he became Head Coach

A 40 yard FG should never be considered easy points

Braves Fan

I know college kickers are inconsistent in general

CaliWG

9/2/14 12:18pm

No reason you should feel secure

Braves Fan

9/2/14 1:22pm

You are ignoring games where no FG was attempted b/c of ineptitude

CaliWG

Your Boise State example is spectacularly poor

Braves Fan

Bronco said in an interview that he went for two because

9/2/14 7:53pm

what should they spend less time on so they can spend more time on kicking?

You mean 5 minutes per practice? How about the rugby pitch practice time?

CaliWG

even a good kicker can lose a close one, for example BSU and Payne

cypresstx

Payne's misses also factored into two other 2004 losses

Got us a new coach though. Payne knew exactly what he was doing.

MantiCoug

He did throw a TD pass against New Mexico, though

Braves Fan

I'm more concerned with us kicking off to the 15 yard line every time

Twin Roots

9/2/14 11:31am

I agree. This is an important part of the kicking problem too.

pistol12

9/2/14 11:31am

might as well kick on sides every time.

9/2/14 12:59pm

Short kicks reduce the chance of taking it to the house

Braves Fan

After the past few years, teaching your kid to kick a football might be easiest

More than likely he'll be a ute.

Boy, the kicking game really hurt us last year!

AxelDC

9/2/14 11:32am

I continue to be baffled by the love for kickers

Braves Fan

9/2/14 11:33am

im.baffeled that anyone denies not having a good kicker is a problem

i wouldn't deny it but I do think the position can be overrated in importance. I

didn't byu pass on andy phillips? granted, one great year. he was also kicking

OC_Ute

9/2/14 11:38am

yeah, they passed on him having not seen him kick. That was more dumb luck

fattycoug

9/2/14 1:05pm

With our international reach,why can't we find/convert a soccer player to kick?

Sportsroof

9/2/14 11:41am

pretty bold to predict us to not go undefeated after predicting a loss to Texas

nashty

9/2/14 12:18pm

I had the same thought.

Haha yeah I realized that too after posting. Rather redundant. My bad.

Maybe what you were really thinking was:
