Re: Tyler Sievertsen

It's nice to have a FG Kicker with some serious stones!!

Not sure how he's putting on his pants with cocunuts that big!!

I mean seriously....40 yard FG into a 35 MPH wind?? with the Game/Seeding/MVC Title on the line?

Easily conference ST player of the week.

And the great thing is ... kickers *never* leave school early to try the NFL. Yeah for us.

Re: Tyler Sievertsen

I am a tad of a homer but UNI will never have a kicker like Mac again, Tyler is starting to come close, he has consistency, he's all over that. He has shown now that he is clutch, no doubt about that. But don't forget, when Mac was hitting game winners, game sealers, game tie'ers, they were 57 yards, 60 yards, 51 yards.

We have been very blessed with Tyler this year though, no doubt about it. If his leg strength develops, and he gets the opportunities to kick the 50 yard game winners (that is key too, getting the opportunities) he can be the best...

Re: Tyler Sievertsen

Let's slow down on the 'best ever' talk. UNI has had Mitchell, Hoambrecker, and Wingert in recent memory. These guys were all unbelievably good. Billy was a good kicker, just not a clutch kicker like we seem to have with Tyler. And for those Panther fans out there that continually throw out 'all time leading scorer', that was a benefit of a playing 4 years for a team that scored a whole lot of points. Mitchell, Hoambrecker, or Wingert would have had several more points had they played on the same teams that Billy had the opportunity to.

Brian Mitchell. The dude could have been a jockey. He would be the best UNI kicker ever in my book.

Mitchell was special, wasn't he. Just damn great.

Re: Tyler Sievertsen

UNI has been blessed with great kickers recently. In reality saying that Billy is the worst of them really isn't much of an insult. I keep thinking of teams like Iowa State which for a variety of reasons seem to struggle to find good kickers. Tyler, with his kick yesterday, has joined the club.

Tyler was in fact named MVFC Special Teams Player of the Week, for the third time this season.

LJ Fort got Defensive PotW honors as well.

You know, this is a very good point....
