No, you do everything you can to get him back ASAP.

Pigskin Pete Starter

I’m sure they are. When you have a player at that talent level at any position you don’t just move on. You work with what you have for the moment, but get “the guy” back as quick as possible

Kalani sounded frustrated with the Oldroyd situation

The Y's Insider

9/20/21 1:39pm

why has he been out? back issue?

CrashMcLarson

9/20/21 1:40pm

Yep.

The Y's Insider

9/20/21 1:41pm

I like that he is putting some pressure on the kid. Suck it up or get replaced.

Backcountry

9/20/21 1:40pm

Oldroyd was an All-American last year. Cut him a little slack.

dYrtbYkerYder

9/20/21 1:45pm

“Last year”…I agree but we are 4 games into this year now.

Getting ahead of myself but we are preparing for our 4th and need to know status

truecougster

9/20/21 2:08pm

I understand the frustration. The old maxim: availability is the most important

Forzaitalia

9/20/21 2:37pm

You don’t think Oldroyd has pressure on him already? What a dumb comment.

Pigskin Pete

9/20/21 4:46pm

Sounds like Jakes situation is a little different based on the coaches comments

Backcountry

9/20/21 4:53pm

Watching Oldroyd warm up I could tell that he was trying to kick through it.

Pigskin Pete

9/20/21 5:01pm

Sounds like its time to shut it down for the year.

Backcountry

9/20/21 5:06pm

I hope not. The season’s just getting started and he’s by far the best

Pigskin Pete

9/20/21 5:18pm

Yeah, suck it up and go out there and suck it up. Sounds like a plan.

ochobeeguy

9/20/21 4:58pm

Suck it up? Have you ever had a back injury?

CharlottesvilleCoug

9/20/21 5:57pm

Our kickers need to stop lifting so much weight. Justin Sorensen always had

dYrtbYkerYder

9/20/21 1:41pm

Was it caused by weight lifting?

ballen

9/20/21 1:44pm

Lamb seemed to hint at that on last week's Coordinator's Corner.

dYrtbYkerYder

9/20/21 1:46pm

His injury was not caused by weightlifting.

Pigskin Pete

9/20/21 6:35pm

NFL kickers seem to do just fine looking like string beans

letthewookieewin

9/20/21 1:45pm

Sorensen had all sorts of issues. Power lifting, fell off a step on his mission

DiamondMo

9/20/21 2:11pm

Actually spider bite, not snake bit as you suggest 🧐

VTCougar

9/20/21 2:28pm

It was an injury incurred during kicking. Not weightlifting.

Pigskin Pete

9/20/21 4:27pm

Lamb said today that Smith has almost the same range as Oldroyd

Indy Coug

9/20/21 1:43pm

Lamb was also high on Critchlow. You gotta take his player hyping with a

Corn Pop

9/20/21 1:47pm

He also ID'd Chris Wilcox as a high upside prospect. Don't just point out his

dYrtbYkerYder

9/20/21 1:49pm

He's done that with a lot of successful and lesser-recruited athletes

Indy Coug

9/20/21 1:54pm

Particularly when Critchlow is lambasted mostly for his year NO QBs looked great

SinkingQuffa

9/20/21 1:59pm

He hypes everybody. Of course he’s going to be correct on the ones that pan out.

Corn Pop

9/20/21 1:59pm

Check how many guys have been drafted from SUU, then check how many he recruited

dYrtbYkerYder

9/20/21 2:26pm

He’s a good coach. And? He still hypes everybody regardless of ability.

Corn Pop

9/20/21 2:32pm

Little easier to gauge a kickers ability than a QBs. They either have it or they

Backcountry

9/20/21 2:03pm

He might have the same range, but his accuracy appears to be an issue.

BYUgoslav

9/20/21 2:00pm

What’s he supposed to say in an interview? “He’s not nearly as good as Jake

ballen

9/20/21 2:23pm

How about accuracy. Who cares how far he can kick? Except on a kickoff I guess…

ochobeeguy

9/20/21 5:00pm

Yea, Lamb called fill in Justen Smith “a young Jake Oldroyd” and said “the game

84 natlchamps

9/20/21 7:35pm

Why isn't Smith ready to go?

bluelands

9/20/21 1:43pm

1. I think there are only so many "live snaps" with the 1s during prep week.

The Y's Insider

9/20/21 1:48pm

Sitake is the coach. Make the switch

bluelands

9/20/21 1:53pm

How many live snaps involve kickers anyway, and is Oldroyd taking them?

ochobeeguy

9/20/21 5:00pm

Lamb was frustrated with it after the AZ game, obviously mad about the weight

BGRTHNUMEGO

9/20/21 1:45pm

Seems like they could control that, no?

Baurak Ale

9/20/21 1:49pm

The situation is ridiculous. Cash Peterman is listed 3rd but he is good too

WallaX2

9/20/21 1:48pm

Is he?

fredetteaboutit13

9/20/21 4:41pm

Yeah, he’s money

stoils

9/20/21 5:53pm

Rehkow also an excellent place kicker

robin

9/20/21 4:42pm

I’d have Rehkow start practicing

I'mBatman

9/20/21 5:05pm

I’ve heard that too, but i’m not sure whether to trust that, because

Pigskin Pete

9/20/21 5:22pm

Here is an article in des news talking about his kicking

robin

9/20/21 6:05pm

And here is an article from when he was back in high school discussing how good

robin

9/20/21 6:07pm

I’m guessing there’s a reason he’s not on the kicking depth chart.

Pigskin Pete

9/20/21 6:40pm

My guess is that coaches like having a solid punter and want him to further

robin

9/20/21 9:13pm

I've heard that Rehkow is not interested in place kicking

AZ Coug

9/20/21 8:42pm

He sure seemed like he enjoyed taking off down the field against Tx st last year

robin

9/20/21 9:06pm

Unfortunately, that is not the case.

Pigskin Pete

9/20/21 4:53pm

Cash is a great kicker, he kicked for Chandler high with conover, never misses

moodycoug95

9/20/21 5:05pm

Then why is he third string?

I'mBatman

9/20/21 5:06pm

My source on the team related that there were many bad experiences in fall camp

Pigskin Pete

9/20/21 5:13pm

If the coaches are frustrated....aren't they the ones that make that decision?

TheHop

9/20/21 1:49pm

I think he did. He was asked about Oldroyd and gave the answer.

The Y's Insider

9/20/21 1:55pm

Who's going to create the gofundme so we can send Oldroyd to a chiropractor?

CougarAndMerlin

9/20/21 2:13pm

Hes got a sore lower back, not Hashimotos

Backcountry

9/20/21 2:16pm

Definitely not Hashimotos--probably black mold, Lyme disease, or leaky gut/back

ebv

9/20/21 5:02pm

Back issues can be day to day. One day fine, next not. That’s just how it is

zerome4sooners

9/20/21 2:28pm

Agree totally. Watching him trying to kick and bend over was painful

Cougarpride

9/20/21 2:36pm

I heard during the AZ games that Oldroyd's back problems are caused by his

TrueBlue67

9/20/21 3:25pm

You might have heard that on CB.

ochobeeguy

9/20/21 5:02pm

Call me crazy but I bet Oldroyd is pretty dang frustrated about it too -

Pigskin Pete

9/20/21 4:26pm

If our Heisman candidate QB had these same issues I’m sure they’d be piling on.

fredetteaboutit13

9/20/21 4:45pm

to be fair, Oldroyd was warming up in the pregame and looked like there was zero

9/20/21 4:57pm

I hope I haven’t piled on. I feel bad for the kid, and back pain is debilitating. At the same time, if he can’t play,

cheezedawg

9/20/21 4:59pm

So you're saying just cut him and be done with it?

ochobeeguy

9/20/21 5:04pm

Not even close, but you need to give 1st team reps to Smith in all of the practices until you have some confidence Jake

cheezedawg

9/20/21 6:01pm

How many 1st team reps do kickers get? And is Oldroyd getting them?

ochobeeguy

9/20/21 8:37pm

I'm clueless here on the inner workings. My gut just tells me that it can't be good for Smith to not know if he is

cheezedawg

9/20/21 10:03pm

No, you do everything you can to get him back ASAP.

Pigskin Pete

9/20/21 5:09pm

Link??

geddylee

9/20/21 5:08pm

BYU should consider hiring a kicking coach.

Dr. 91coug

9/20/21 5:13pm

Would the kicking coach say "Yo, don't hurt your back."?

ochobeeguy

9/20/21 8:38pm

Yes.

Dr. 91coug

9/20/21 10:11pm

This is a good stretch of games to sit Jake and give Justin some work
