Let's Talk About Our Kicking Game!

[oldcat]

For being such a question mark at the beginning of the season, I thought our kicking game yesterday was outstanding! Our kickoffs into the wind were still getting to the 5 yd. line. Our punt into the wind was almost 40 yds. ISU kicking game killed them all day. It was giving us good field position about every time. Their kicker couldn't get it into the end zone even with the wind at his back. Our field goal in the fourth quarter was HUGE!! They did a great job!!!!

Its been spotty this year, but yesterday they did a great job, I agree.

Kickoffs were good Saturday. Field goals are okay, but not great. The one hit the upright, but went through. And the 42 yarder was clutch, but it was also with the wind.

Frankly, though, I worry a bit when it comes to kickoffs.
But then we've been spoiled by some outstanding Panther kickers.

A big thanks needs to go out to the former Panther specialists who continue to help out their younger followers by going back to UNI and working out with them. They pass on knowledge of technique and work ethic as there usually isn't a specific kicking coach assigned to the group.
