Gets pretty good hang time and always puts it toward one sideline. This makes kickoffs coverage easier because it cuts off a portion of the field. Texas tried to take it to the other side of the field twice and ended up starting inside their own 10 both times.
Everyone has complained in years past about why our kicker keeps kicking the ball out of bounds. It is because the kicker was trying to kick it high and to the sideline, just like the coaches want him to. I have actually been really impressed with Mikkelson because he has put it just where he wants and has yet to kick it out of bounds.
