I'd much rather a team have to field a kickoff against us with the chance that we can cause a fumble. Except for Arenas or whatever from Alabama. Besides that, we will provide great coverage and maybe even cause a turnover or two.

The kicking game is one of our biggest problems right now. He sucks at kickoffs.

Because in order for a kickoff to go out of the endzone it would first have to at least be able to reach the goal line, which ours cannot.

but seriously its an issue that is bound to cause us problems as this season pans out.

A kicker I know from a High School you all know walked on while Saban was here. Everytime he kicked off he kicked the ball out of the Endzone. Saban told him to go to another school because he did not want a kicker that kicked the ball out of the Endzone but only to the 5 year line. I guess the word got around to all the kickers that can kick the ball out of the Endzone that they are not needed at LSU.

most girl soccer players would kick your arse in a kicking contest, so until you can walk and chew gum at the same time STFU! Remember these immortal words, "if you cant be an athlete, be an athletic supporter".

How so? If our coverage stays the same we'll have an opponent starting field position average of the the 24yd line.

But the 20 yard line is so much better.

Well if you are talking about LSU's goalie, you are probably right!

I think we're shooting for 10am. Just call me when you get up there and we'll see about meeting for dinner or something. The "going out" scene at AU is kind of weak but I'm sure they'll be tons of friendlies around.

Thanks we should fire the coaches and let you take over . You undoubtably have greater insight on how to find players that the coaches can't to make LSU the greatest team in NCAA history.
Or you are just some fricking moron that doesnt know shite.

If LSU could have the perfect kicker he would be here.
Every team can't be perfect at every position.
I'm sure Les Miles knew this situation long before you had an inkling of it.
Now sit back and enjoy the season or stop posting bullshite calling players names.
FWIW...I'm sure you could go in and boom the kickoffs through the uprights huh Ace?

for the dude who said that our kickoff return is ranked #2 right now.....get real this is the second game for us against a cupcake. Of course we are in the top 10 in every defensive category moron. The point is that the kickoff will cause us BIG problems down the road....mark that down
BOOM

So, stats mean nothing? Well then, guess we should throw all of them out, including the qb stats.

Why is it that the kickoff will cause us problems? We have been good so far, it might not continue, but we have no reason to believe it wont as of now. How many other teams have a kicker who can consistently put the ball at least 5 yards deep in the endzone? It's not alot.

You get to "boom" me because of your future prediction? How fricking dumb are you?
