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

Pigskin Pete Starter

I saw him kick several, including a 54 yarder, but he appeared to be in pain. Then his knees buckled as he was running up to take a kick. That tells me the pain must be more than something he could just “suck up”

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.

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

dYrtbYkerYder

“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

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

Forzaitalia

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

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

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

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
