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.

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.

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".

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?

You are aware that there was a rule change last year putting the kickers further back right? That as a result of the Rule LSU started to kick the ball higher to get coverage underneath to make the tackle. If we had a kicker that made it to the goal line that sure would be a whole hell of a lot of time to find a hole while everyone catches up. Instead LSU has been angling the ball to the side and keeping it high. All that matters is starting position not where they catch it.

I thought Miles said it is not our intention to kick the ball out of the end zone. The sky kick is our objective on kickoffs this year.

Correct me if I'm wrong, because I haven't really paid attention when we're kickinig off so far this year.
