role than other positions. And you have the time and quality issues with the deep snapper and holder.

In hindsight all the attention we gave Oldroyd early in the year probably wasn’t helpful to him. Calling “Jake the Make” and doing a long BYUTV segment featuring him may have amped up the pressure and made it harder on him when he missed a couple.

Utah bragged up their kicker and called him Automatic Andy a few years ago. The next year his production dropped and his kicking cost them at least one game.

I don’t agree with the idea of cutting one or both loose. Oldroyd has one games for us. Southam was the number one kicking recruit in high school his senior year.

Who will we bring in with a better resume than those two? And if we do cut either and bring in somebody else, we have no idea they will do better.

We need to let them try to get things right mentally.
