and not having enough depth for the Pac 12, he should also get credit for having plenty of kickers. Keep in mind that neither Matt Gay nor Andy Phillips were scholarship kickers, the guys ahead of them just under performed and Whit took the time to build the depth behind them. The same is true this year, where the Grad Transfer from UCLA blew it against BYU so Utah is now using their second choice. If he had been like Bronco and said, "nope, we've already got a kicker, and I'm not going to take the time to evaluate anyone else," Utah absolutely loses a handful more games (including a couple against BYU) over the last few seasons. Instead, Kyle covered his bases and put in the extra work to have a back up plan.

I still don't understand why kickers are different than any other position. Some work out, some don't, you have to recruit depth just in case kids aren't good or they get injured or don't qualify. If Bronco gets credit for Ziggy being a top draft pick because he walked on from the track team then Kyle gets credit for finding these all American kickers.
