Oldroyd has been very good and also very lucky. MS paint FTW

I was bored and made this rough chart of Oldroyd's kicks. He's lucky to be 8/9. If we're ever in a game winning field goal situation and the coaches don't get him on the left hash, I will be irate. Kicks from the left/center are circled in blue, kicks from the right hash are circled in yellow:

Some CBer was trying to argue that Simon messed up on that catch and run because he zig-zagged too far to his left.

Snap on the last USC field goal was horrible. The holder worked a miracle

I think the tying snap against Tennessee was pretty rough as well.

Ok so should we put in Southam who was 2/8 at practice 3 days in a row?

Yes, not many have been down the center. Hopefully, he can stay 'golden'.
