BYU's 50 yard field goal drought

Ill take totally meaningless crap for $200 Alex....

You seriously think that a good FG kicker is meaningless?

This about 50+ yard FGs are not that big a deal... we don’t need FGs we need TDs

No one is saying TDs aren't better.

You're right, for some reason Greg Wrubell just bugs...

Bronco Mendenhall sure as heck did

I'll take a 50 yard field goal over a pooch punt trying to pin the opponent

Absolutely. If you have a kicker that can go the distance, you can win more

How many times have we lost to Utah in the past 12 years on a FG?

Kickers who can consistently make distant field goals are an asset to any team.

I could kick a 50-yd field goal while running a 4.4 40

ColoSpgs

4/25/19 11:35am

If you're gonna lie, why not a 4.2?

TailgateU

4/26/19 7:48am

How many have been attempted since then?

Blusox

4/25/19 11:36am

My guess it is the second - they don't even try because they wouldn't make them.

Yes. The coaches have been only comfortable up to a certain range

donnerstag

I agree 100%

BlueBeliever

You have to have a kicker that can make them....speaks to the absence of elite kickers at BYU

Tried plenty with Justin Sorensen (2008, 2011-13).

why kick 50 yard fgs when you can just score TDs?

Cougarclaw

4/25/19 11:42am

What about when you can't score TDs? (See 2017)

I thought altitude was supposed to help this.

Ask Spencer Linton, he has all the facts on this.

Even bigger problem is 40 yard field goals. There were a few entire seasons...

COACHdrn

4/25/19 1:37pm

The worst was 2017. I don't think we had even one +40 yarder.

Mattattack159

4/26/19 8:34am

I don't care about the 50+, just be consistent on the mid-range

Hill4Heisman

What *actually* happened with Matt Gay? The legend is that he wanted to go to BYU, but BYU didn't want him... so he went

It's one of the sadder stories of the last few years.
